My feed right now is making me want to book a trip I absolutely should not book. And I'm a financial planner who knows better 😅

Here's what I'm using to deal with it 👇

People who choose good enough and stay within their means are consistently happier and less regretful than people trying to optimize every decision. FOMO is a spending trigger that pushes you toward choices you can't keep up with.

The CFP take 👇

— Decide your summer fun budget BEFORE you see anyone else's plans
— A local weekend trip or a day trip you can afford beats a dream trip you're still paying off in November
— Unfollow or mute the accounts that make you feel like your life isn't enough (seriously)

The best vacation is the one that doesn't follow you home as debt 🏖️

The new white-collar risk is not always getting laid off. Sometimes it’s staying employed but stuck. A flat salary means your purchasing power is shrinking every year you don’t get a raise.

What to do:

💼 Benchmark your salary once a year. Look at job postings, recruiter ranges, industry reports, and what people with your experience are actually making.

📈 Keep a running “brag doc.” Projects, revenue, savings, leadership, new responsibilities — don’t wait until review season to remember your value.

🗓️ Ask directly what the path to promotion looks like. Timeline, metrics, decision-maker. If they cannot define it, that may tell you something.

🚪 If there is no path up, start looking sideways. Sometimes the fastest raise is not a promotion. It’s a new company.

A stable job is great. But staying too long in a role that has stopped growing can get expensive.

Is betting on sports getting out of hand during the World Cup?

Remember, any type of sports betting is NOT an investment. Money put towards this should be treated like money being spent on a hobby, not as a way to grow your wealth.

And if you value peace of mind, maybe it’s best not to participate.

Rates are slightly better than last year — but they’re going nowhere fast 📉

The risk of waiting: if rates do fall, more sidelined buyers floods back in and prices jump. You trade a high rate for a bidding war.

What actually helps right now 👇
— Shop 3+ lenders (spreads are wide right now — you could literally save thousands just by comparing)
— Ask about float-down options (lets you lock a rate now but drop it if rates fall before closing)
— Buy the payment you can afford today

You marry the house, you date the rate 🏠

Trying our best to not ruin any Disney Trips!

We stumbled upon Michaela Jill Murphy and Lily to talk money, debt, and Minnie Ears.

Michaela might be the voice of Toph in Avatar the Last Airbender, but she is NOT blind to her personal finances.

Friendly reminder: You don’t have to wait until New Year’s to get your finances on track. A lot can change in 6 months, which makes a mid-year audit essential.

Small leaks like forgotten free trials, sneaky subscription price hikes, or un-refunded returns can quietly drain your account. Taking 10 minutes to review your statements and tweak your budget right now will set you up for a much less stressful holiday season later this year.

Remember: Progress > perfection. 🙂‍↕️
