Tips: How to get the most out of this site.
Finances are not usually something glamorous to read or talk about, but it is something that affects us all most of the time. I know this information can seem overwhelming, but if I can offer any suggestions, it would be:
Start with the Make A Plan page. If you don’t know how to get where you’re going, how can you expect to reach your destination? This page offers tips that can help you formulate the best plan for you to help you reach your financial success.
Then come back and visit other categories under Menu as you encounter them in your life. Even if you’ve learned all there is to know, I recommend still investing a little time to look. You might be surprised to find a new tip that could change your finances.
Please share any tips or ideas you may have as we are all learning together.
To All young people:
I highly recommend reading the F.I.R.E. Community page and information first. The earlier you know about the F.I.R.E community, the better it can benefit you if that is something you want to consider. (I wish I would have known this information much sooner.)
Then, I suggest reading The Money Guy’s Financial Order of Operations and/or Minority Mindset C.L.I.M.B. They both offer a lot of great information and can help you know where to put your focus to meet your financial goals.
However, if you want a very simple plan to start with, reading Dave Ramsey’s Baby Steps will not steer you wrong. His plan is easy to remember and simple to follow, and it will give you a great financial start.
Next, read Budgeting, Savings, and Groceries and Gas pages to learn tips about these areas in finance. Knowing this information early can help with your plan and help you meet your financial goals.
Then come back and visit other categories under Menu as you encounter them in your life. This information can help you not fall into the financial traps the world likes to set to keep people broke and dependent.
To Anyone struggling with money and/or debt:
Read Dave Ramsey’s Baby Steps and/or The Money Guy’s Financial Order of Operations. They both offer great perspectives and plans to help get on the right track with money.
Then read Budgeting, Savings, and Groceries and Gas to learn tips about these areas in finance. This information can give you tips and tricks to help with your plan and meet your financial goals.
Then come back and visit other categories under Menu as you encounter them in your life. This information can help you not fall into the financial traps the world likes to set to keep people broke and dependent.

I did not grow up learning how to be financially responsible, but I became passionate about learning all things finances so I could teach my children. I am not a financial advisor, but I am continuously learning on my journey to become financially independent, and I’m passionate about teaching others how to do the same. Come learn with me so we can live our best lives and then spread our wings to help others do the same.
