Most Expensive Mistake

You don’t know what you don’t know.

Most are paralyzed because they lack confidence about what to do next.

I have been here and completely felt this. For years, I didn’t invest in my employer’s retirement plan because I wasn’t sure how to do so, and I was embarrassed to ask. I figured it wouldn’t understand, and that hesitation cost me a big chunk of my future.

It wasn’t until I became passionate about teaching my kids that everything shifted. I dove in and began trying to learn everything I could. I stopped caring if I sounded dumb because I was learning for the sake of my children and their future.

That’s where my mission began: helping younger generations understand money at a much earlier age.

Most of us were not taught the rules of the game.

Wealthy people don’t just invest in things. They invest in thinking.

The biggest investment you’ll ever make isn’t in a stock or retirement account—it’s in learning how to think differently about money. Whether you’re starting late or learning early, you can take control of your life and pass on wisdom that lasts.

That’s why I created this site, to house the lessons I didn’t know—spoiler: it was a lot. I wanted a space to learn, reflect, and grow together, and to be a resource to pass down to the younger generations. If you’re not sure where to begin or feel awkward asking, as I once did, take a look. It may not have every answer, but it might lead you toward the correct path to find it… or it may show you what you didn’t even realize you needed to know.

Check out these Recommended Books to help you get started on your financial literacy journey.

If you want a recommended start, the first two books I read were:

Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason

These two books completely opened my eyes to a whole new way of viewing money, plus almost every other financial personality I’ve listened to has said the same things about these two books. You won’t be disappointed.

I feel we are all students of one another, learning from each other’s strengths and weaknesses. 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
