Girl Meets Financial Freedom

It's a beautiful Sunday morning here where I am (almost forgot for 1 millisecond that 1. There is a global pandemic going on and 2. That there is still a mountain of debt looming over my head) and I am ready to knock one more pin down on this bowling lane of things that have kept me from really achieving financial freedom in my life. Because I have extra time on my hands on the weekends to think on my neighborhood walks with my dog that is now completely trained NOT to pull me into squirrel oblivion with him every 2 seconds, this post goes a little bit deeper. Now that we have learned to breathe and release tension that we fear others will judge us for, it makes it a lot easier to recognize other issues with that one out of the way. This particular issue is one that applies to almost every area of life if you think about it, but it's sneaky. It's sneaky because we live in a society that banks on this feeling that you make experience. Let me just cut to the chase: the feel...

Have you ever been really excited, nervous or anxious about something and literally held your breath without even realizing it? I personally tend to do this most when I am attempting a plank position and only realize that I need to breathe once I look into the mirror and notice that my face is well, purple.

And where does this fear come from? A lot of things.

Hi there, as you probably have already figured out, you have landed on a blog page which will aim to do a few things: 1. Help you reach financial freedom and get the life you want! 2. Give you the mea..... OH PLEASE! If I hear this promise one more time, I am going to lose it. After about a decade of terrible money management, I am ready for some help, but I am so fed up with the old school money management tactics. Sure, there is a lot of validity in their claims and steps ( I am a really big fan of steps and rules), but at the same time, any and all of those solutions assume that you're already in a place to invest in the first place. In all realness, I am not there, nor will I be for a while. In fact, neither are a lot of other people (probably in my age group) but in general, as well. And "OK Boomer", we know that we are supposed to invest in property, throw some money into our 401k, get life insurance, save up for our hypothetical children's college fund and...
