Every family will be different.
Different income.
Different expenses.
Different priorities
But there is bound to be some overlap in goals:
➡️ Building a safe home
➡️ Giving their kids opportunities to learn and grow
➡️ Saving and investing
➡️ Taking the occasional vacation
This is challenging though.
Being able to do all of this while costs continue to go up and be unpredictable is NOT easy.
The big take away here isn’t this specific example but rather that every family is out there trying to make it work FOR THEM.
If this is you (regardless of the income amount), the most important thing to do is figure out what your family cares about most.
Prioritize the best you can and make do with what you have.
And if growing your money is a priority, I’ve created a free guide to investing with index funds. Comment the word CHEATSHEET and I’ll send it over!

What do you notice here? Did they have some complex plan in place? No. They took it step by step. Gradually increasing what they could do when they were ready to do it. Building wealth doesn’t have to be a sprint. It can be sustainable and happen in the background of your life. You can press down on the gas on your own terms and enjoy yourself during the process. I have a free guide that can walk you through how a couple like this might start investing to achieve their goals.

Here’s something every parent needs to know about a 529 plan: Yes they are awesome and there are a ton of benefits (tax free growth; no tax when you sell and use the money for qualified educational expenses; the new abilities to roll unused money into a Roth IRA, among others) . . . BUT please pay attention here… The 529 does not have to fully fund your child’s education. It’s great if that is your goal and you can afford to do it. But if you’re trying to get your own home in order and can’t contribute enough money that will one day pay the full tuition, you can still help your child with just a portion of their tuition. Any amount you can grow between birth to when they go to college money your child won’t need to either pay on their own or find scholarships to cover. And it is ABSOLUTELY going to help them avoid the trap of student debt. #familygoals #education #investing #529plans #529 #stock #stockmarket
Compounding has negative effects too 👇 SHARE THIS with a friend who’s working on their money. It’s time to look at the decisions you’ll make that will add up to big numbers. I’m not saying to cut out the small things. If you enjoy your trips to your local coffee shop, great, have at it. But keep an eye on the bigger picture. Are you saying “eh, whatever” and swiping your credit card too much? Are the little things a catalyst to buying more than you anticipated? Put yourself in a position to succeed this year. Example: if you know you can’t go to the mall without buying stuff you don’t need, either don’t go to the mall OR leave your credit card at home. The $5 decisions won’t make or break you. But the avalanche of decisions that follow start to make an impact. Ask yourself whether the $10,000 decisions would change your life? If so, it’s time to rethink some things. If you want help getting organized to see which decisions add up to big numbers, comment BUDGET below and I’ll send you my free spreadsheet to help you get started. #budget #budgeting #spending #moneymindset
You need to understand this 👇 SHARE this with a loved one and SAVE it for later. 🚨You don’t have to mirror these exact numbers. Read that again. ♻️ If you think you’ll need more when you retire, save and invest more. If you think you’ll need less, don’t save and invest as much. The key takeaway: you can’t just SAVE your way to wealth. You need to find ways to grow your money without having to just work for it. This isn’t my opinion. For the vast majority of the population, it is fact. And my firm belief is that you can do it while living a life you love. #investing #moneytips #save #marriageandmoney #couplegoals
How do you know you’re saving enough? Lets discuss… [And make sure you SHARE this with a friend or loved one so you can game plan together!] The first way is to start with the life you want to live. How much money do you need to fund that lifestyle? Let’s assume you plan to spend $10,000 per month in retirement. You’d need $120,000 per year. If you plan to live 30, 40, 50 years in retirement just do the math. 30 x $120,000 = $3.6 million From there you can reverse engineer your savings goals. To be worth $3,600,000 in 30 years, you’d need to be investing $2,650 per month (assuming an 8% rate of return). Does that seem within reach? I’m not suggesting you have to have a specific net worth or that even the majority of people could afford to invest that much monthly. But this is MEGA eye opening for most: If you want to live your best life today AND tomorrow, you need to be prepared. And by setting goals and knowing the numbers, you’re already more informed than most people. #investing #investor #stockmarket #debtfreejourney
This absolutely shocked me 👇🏻 Make sure you SHARE this post with a friend and SAVE it for later. I read a stat recently that said that if you take 100 people at start of their working careers and follow for them for next 40 years, here’s how they would do financially- 54 of them will be broke and dependent on the government, family and friends. 36 will be dead. 5 will keep working (not because they want to but because they HAVE to). 4 of them will be financially secure. And only ONE will be wealthy. Let me say this another way: Only 5% of population will succeed in creating a life of financial freedom. The other 95% will struggle their entire lives. There are a lot of factors that go into this: the economy, incomes, government decisions. A lot of that is out of our control. But I firmly believe there is one thing we can all do if we want to be a part of that 5% And it’s actually learning how money works. Without financial education you’re going at this with no direction. But with the proper understanding of how money works, you can actually manage your money, invest and make a plan to avoid joining the masses with a lifetime of money struggles. On April 6 I’m going to teach you all the knowledge you’ll need to have a plan for your future. You’ll get emails from me with video trainings, calculators and REAL money tips that I used to get on the path to financial freedom.

You’re overpaying for food. I’ll show you. Look at your last order in a delivery app. Then go compare it to the restaurant’s online menu. The screens in the video were my REAL orders from Chipotle and Doordash. The difference??? $14.45 via delivery for the same burrito that costs $10.65 in store. That’s almost a 20% markup not including all the fees and tip. And this isn’t an isolated incident. The NYTimes reported that delivery apps mark up food by 7-91%. Thats money flying out of your family’s pocket. But I’ve got you covered here! Comment “Podcast” and I’ll send you the latest episode of the Family Funds podcast where I’ll give you my method to order in without breaking the bank.
