Think buying a house is impossible? You're not alone; many people do.
(🎉Congrats to my clients for closing on their home over the weekend!)
Turns out, it might be more doable than you think. Lots of clients started out thinking they couldn't afford it, but then became homeowners.

Happy Tax Day!
Hope you legally minimized the amount you had to pay.
If you had no clue that taxes were due today. Make sure you submit for an extension to avoid late filing fees. If you end up owing, late payment and interest will still accrue. 😱

I'm super thankful for the winding path, from my teller days, personal banking, even working for a sleazy annuity sales guy, and falling into serving tech professionals, before finally launching my own vision for how financial planning should be.

The golden handcuffs are finally off!
Never been so happy to receive an email from a client to update me they’ve been laid off.
This is a client that’s ready and prepared for retirement and wasn’t enjoying their role so it’s something we’ve been crossing our fingers for.

Excited for crazy tax season.
It’s not the most fun thing ever, but I just enjoy the grind of knocking them out and counting them down until they’re 100% completed.
If you feel you’re not saving enough on your taxes consider HSA, Dependent FSAs, and retirement contributions.

Building something of my very own is boosting my confidence in substantial ways. Am I doing everything “right”? Absolutely not. But I am doing things and those things work. Excited to finish and get it in the hands of users, won’t be able to tell me nothing once it’s stable and empowering others.
