I’ve been living without income for a whole year after quitting my corporate job to start my company. Saving money is more important to me now than ever.
I just got my first prescription from @costplusdrugs.com for $25. Last time it cost me $85, with insurance.
Works as advertised! 😇👍😀 TY!

Many young *men* have too much in crypto relative to cash savings.
Many young *women* have too much in cash savings relative to investments.
We should be talking more about both of these problems.

We should be talking more about both of these problems.
Young men don't open bank accounts. They are too expensive. They download coin base or Robinhood app and buy crypto. That's their savings
If one party pushes that number higher. They vote for em. Gensler/Biden caused those savings to go down. The demo with the biggest change was young men

Great interview on @vox.com about how diet culture has warped our thinking on budgeting.
Respectfully, needing a budget and understanding your expenses are not the same thing. This is why we made a healthy spending app!

What if a budget isn’t the answer?
Budgeting culture is on overdrive, but the latest trend probably isn’t the answer to your money woes.
