@george.kamel: I’m all ears If you don’t know where to start, these 7 steps are your road map to win with money: 1. Put $1,000 in a beginner emergency fund. 2. Pay off all debt using the debt snowball. 3. Put 3–6 months of expenses into savings as a full emergency fund. 4. Invest 15% of your household income for retirement. 5. Begin college funding for your kids. 6. Pay off your home early. 7. Build wealth and give generously. #moneymistakes #realtalk #confessions
Student loans and listening to Dave Ramsey. Glad I payed off my debt, but I should have been contributing to my retirement way earlier.

Charged daycare expenses for three years because as a single mom, that’s the best I could do to provide for the two of us.

I let 401k money sit in a savings account for 12 years. It was high interest, but the “investor” (insurance guy) scalped the interest.

Borrowed money for an expansion on my house that never happened. The contractor disappeared with the deposit and we paid interest on a loan we didn’t do anything with for a year before returning the funds… terrible terrible mistake.

A relationship where I tried to keep up with the lifestyle of my higher earning partner and kept my struggle to myself. Ended up leaving him and dug myself out of it. Now I’m flourishing, but will always prioritize money transparency in relationships going forward.
