Tracking is the engine of awareness and agency in any plan, financial or otherwise.

What do you track?

Spending, net worth, ROI? How and where do you do it?

Or if you don't, what is stopping you?

Tell me in the replies!

I'm a total nerd for this type of stuff. 🤓

Jackie Blue @getlostblue.bsky.social · May 16

Imagine no more weekends 🤯
No white-knuckling to Friday or Sunday scaries.

Retirement? Nah.
Aim to own 💯 your time.

Only one life, but endless ways to walk it.

The way you use your money shapes the journey. 💸

With debt - or freedom?
With baggage - or options?

Are you walking towards a life you love? Or heading for a cliff?

Choose with your very next step!

Ha! You're right...boring is not the right word!

Divorce. Layoffs. Medical bills.

Don't be an April fool! 🤦🏻‍♀️

There's still time to open an traditional or Roth IRA. You can still contribute for 2024 until April 15th. 🗓️

Basically, the closest thing to getting a time machine IRL.

Remember learning to walk? You fell, got back up, figured it out.

Money is the same. With effort and practice, its a fixable skill gap.

So, stop saying "I'm just bad with money." Its about as cute as an adult still crawling.

Jackie Blue @getlostblue.bsky.social · Mar 18

Doing nothing is one of my favorite things to do! But in terms of investing, I believe it takes practice. They say not look at your 401k. But people inevitably do when things start falling. By then, they have no muscle built to resist the urge the sell. PRACTICE by watching markets rise and fall.

Money is emotion, a story living rent-free in your head.

Take control of the narrative, solve the equation.
