Think money = happiness?

Purpose, connection, a reason to get out of bed...
not available on Amazon.

Money helps avoid unhappiness, but it won't solve all problems.

Beliefs can be changed! Maybe its time to review yours about money?

Tracking is the engine of awareness and agency in any plan, financial or otherwise.

What do you track?

Spending, net worth, ROI? How and where do you do it?

Or if you don't, what is stopping you?

Tell me in the replies!

I'm a total nerd for this type of stuff. πŸ€“

Only one life, but endless ways to walk it.

The way you use your money shapes the journey. πŸ’Έ

With debt - or freedom?
With baggage - or options?

Are you walking towards a life you love? Or heading for a cliff?

Choose with your very next step!

Forget Black Swans - It's White Swans That Will Wreck You - Get Lost Blue Prepare for the statistically probable (white swans), not the dramatic unknowable ones (black swans). Here's how!

It’s not the wild, rare disasters that ruin your finances. It’s the boring, predictable ones you refuse to plan for.

Divorce. Layoffs. Medical bills.

White Swans > Black Swans. 🦒πŸ’₯

Remember learning to walk? You fell, got back up, figured it out.

Money is the same. With effort and practice, its a fixable skill gap.

So, stop saying "I'm just bad with money." Its about as cute as an adult still crawling.

Doing nothing is one of my favorite things to do! But in terms of investing, I believe it takes practice. They say not look at your 401k. But people inevitably do when things start falling. By then, they have no muscle built to resist the urge the sell. PRACTICE by watching markets rise and fall.

Money is emotion, a story living rent-free in your head.
