*not sponsored* but I wanted to take the time to let you all know about this service. I have had a couple clients that knew they had money somewhere but just could not figure out how to get. It is a service that you have to pay for (roughly $20) but if you aren’t sure how to access your old retirement account, they will help you find them.

If you have followed me long enough on this page, you know, I never recommend leaving your retirement account with your old employer! It’s one of the easiest money moves you can make and beagle might be able to help you. 😊

Have you ever thought of having your own business? Every time I chat with someone new they say “I’ve always thought about it”. Then they have a million questions 😊.

NWM has some strong opinions and I’ve had to work hard to be ok with that. I know it will always be a struggle though because I’m human! 💜 The older I get, the less I care about big money and success unless it comes with a certain level of freedom. Most jobs just don’t offer that. You usually have to sacrifice one or the other.

I’m so excited with the innovation I am working on to change the landscape of my business. And even the notions some of us have surrounding NWM 😎. Stay tuned these things take time! Most importantly I’ll be able to help so many more people form a solid financial plan and gain the stability they desire.

Rock on 🤘 everyone. Follow those gut feelings and dreams!

Some days I don't want to adult. 🤔
IDK about you, but I'm always trying to see how to make the things I have to do seem easier!

Life is hard enough.......getting sound financial advice that actually makes sense shouldn't be a burden for you. There are a lot of financial gurus out there. What’s the one thing I think they lack? BEING RELATABLE. I don't know about you, but I feel like they lack relatability in today’s world of inflation, student loan debt and housing costs. 💵😳

I’m here to change that. My hope is that through my videos and lives that I can provide value and a “real world” approach to being financially sound. I want you to have a safe space to learn about how to start, or continue your own money journey whatever that looks like for you.

Which is why I am introducing a new tool to streamline the process of "finding out" where you should enhance your finances. This special survey will walk you through your entire financial house in about 10 minutes and provide the highlights on where you are doing great, but more importantly where you can improve.

If you are looking for a safe space that is relatable, convenient and simple to create financial security comment WIN below. I will DM you the info from there 😊.

How can I take care of my financial health❤️‍🩹without sacrificing all of the things I love? This was a question that kept coming to the forefront each time I tried to budget or "do all the things" with my money.

We all have those days......you just can't cook dinner because your day went sideways and you're TIRED. You want a new outfit for a special event. Sometimes you just want to be able to indulge on a random day because you've been working your tail off and deserve to damn it! 😜 But then the guilt and consequences set in. Leaving you feeling like you're back at square one with the cycle that hasn't been working for you.

You then think about your future and wonder how you can even afford to retire, get out of debt....the list keeps growing. 🫣

This is HARD. Because it might actually still means sacrifice, but in a much different way than you think. The truth is, you should be able to do it all, but it may take a unique approach with someone who really leans in to understand your personal goals and where you are TODAY. Not just where you want to be in the future.

If you are at a point where you are open to learning more, I'd love to be the one to help guide you to a solution that makes sense for you, and future you 💜. You both deserve it 😊.

Your financial health is a HUGE part of your mental health. Here’s a practical great article on calming the chaos. 💜

Since the richness of life and all its opportunities are not going to go away, what needs to change is how we perceive all that we have to and want to do. A shift in perception can open new doors to the sense of purpose and productivity that we all desire.

Have you ever felt stuck financially? 💰Like you couldn’t break out of debt, learn to invest and build your wealth? Even just understanding where to start….what to tackle first?

So many, including myself have been there. Especially in today’s climate, finding the right fit to help you can be challenging! Helping people feel unstuck with their money is not a one size fits all approach and needs to be unique to you based on where you are today, your goals and overall feelings about your finances. ⭐

That’s why I provide a 🆓Financial Needs Analysis that begins to build you the right roadmap to your goals and ultimately retirement. Each one I build is tailor made to you….because you DESERVE to have someone guide you to your financial freedom.

The analysis covers:
-debt (how to get out and stay out)
-saving for short- and long-term goals (the fun stuff!)
-retirement (how much do you need?!)
-emergency funds
-college planning or saving for your kids
-an evaluation of income protection to determine if you need it

Having a financial plan that makes sense to you is much more than just feeling good about money. If you’re looking for guidance, a great experience, or just a check-up I’m here for you. 💞 And per my personal style, we will have a lot of fun doing it!

This link takes you to my calendar…..let’s chat and get you your complimentary assessment!

Great article. You know me, I'll always ensure you have a Roth IRA first, but if you are worried about outliving your money, there are so many opportunities to utilize other products!
