2 $6+ coffees a day, brand new cars and impressive college names are a trap. People would say I just didn't have money to invest.

I'm so glad they're people buying these beautiful cars so I can look at them. Mine is proudly on the right 😂

Just enjoying life away from crowds. Without any financial worry. 7 years after turning on my financial GPS have paid off. Now I just keep on cruising. No crypto. No options. No get rich quick schemes. Just simple math, and steady investing.

Lost and about in northern Michigan. The more I travel the more appreciate the simple things.

Quick visit to Chicago. Such a beautiful and vibrant city.

Losing weight and getting out of debt is like being a drug addict or alcoholic trying to quit while everybody around you is getting high and drunk. The work on the mind is indispensable. Critical. Shared stories of success can be the anchor through difficult times.

A moment of reflection here, thinking how everything came together for my family. I started my FI journey about 7 yrs ago, dreaming of working towards $1 million within 10 years. Potentially retiring early. Now the 💴 is no issue. Work doesn’t bother me as much. Life is great!

7 yrs ago I started this journey with a negative net worth. JM J. Money and Paula Paula Pant inspired me to start tracking. Crossed the million dollar line. From a $800 start in this country. 4 kids. One teacher salary until very recently. smallbudgetretirement.com/goodbye-2024-o…

Pearson’ s standardized test for elementary schools is the biggest pile of BS. Time for people to start requesting their children don’t take part in their money making scheme; someone is getting their hands wet at the state level. Imagine nobody takes the test! #boycottpearson

I’m just playing Guess Who with my students and all the sudden this…

Trump and Miller @whitehouse just screwed up the movement that Maria Corina Machado built. “Venezuela stole the oil from the USA”. What a moronic thing to say. Now MCM will have to justify this idea before Venezuelans. And the support for handing the oil to 🇺🇸 will be …wtF!!!!
