I watched an ex blow through a $300,000 inheritance because he had no idea what to do with it. He spent $100k investing in a marijuana business that went nowhere. Another $100k lost on a single stock that he went all in on. Money without purpose or direction will be wasted.

Most people who are anti-WFH are using the office to escape their home life. They have made work their entire personality or it’s their main source of social interaction. I had a coworker who commuted 4hrs a day to the office even on his WFH day. He had 4 kids at home.

Three major factors at play here: . 1) Having children is expensive AF. 2) Women are tired of being mistreated while providing unpaid labor. 3) Bodily autonomy is being stripped away from women putting their lives at risk.

I wish more people could experience a slow, soft life. Wake up naturally, no alarms. Quiet self-care filled mornings without meetings. Long carefree dog walks. Midweek pickleball games with friends. Reading by the pool in the afternoon. Asleep by 9pm.

Everyone should be using a VPN. I use ExpressVPN and I set it to another country. You’ll get lower prices for flights, hotels, & car rentals. This also allows you to get access to different content on Netflix. It’ll also protect your IP address for privacy reasons.

2 years ago I decided that I would retire in Portugal. A year ago I decided to move there ASAP. 6 months ago I took my mom & she wants to move to Portugal too. Today I turned in my visa application. In 3 months I’ll be getting ready for my big move abroad!.

A year ago I sold everything I owned and moved to Portugal. The biggest difference has been how safe & calm I feel living here. My insomnia is gone. 300 days of sunshine a year has done wonders for my mood. Turns out I wasn’t depressed. I just needed to leave the US.

After telling my date the horrible story about how I had to spend $10k to save my dog’s life he responded: “That’s why women need men. You all let your empathy control you. A man would’ve shut that down.” YIKE. The red flag is officially on fire.

I made a post about my PERSONAL CHOICE to not have kids. It wasn’t advice. It didn’t include any judgment on parents. It was simply me sharing my story. I received several offensive comments & DMs and over 500 people unfollowed me. This is why women stay silent.

I told my date that if I ever lived with a man again we’d have to hire a housekeeper because I don’t enjoy cleaning & I’d rather outsource it. I pay for one now & I’m not going back. He couldn’t wrap his head around it. The thought of a woman not cleaning literally blew his mind.

I’m a very resilient woman. But I don’t want to lean on my resiliency to be around you. I want to surround myself with people who bring out my gentle side. Resiliency is for the things I can’t control, but I can choose who I allow into my life on an intimate level.

I don’t think women talk enough about how a relationship can completely derail their finances. One bad relationship can set you back for years. It’s so important to be extremely careful with who you allow into your life.

Today I canceled my $700 a month health insurance policy with BlueCross! I’ve spent almost $17K on insurance for the last 2 years since I left my full-time job. In Portugal I can get free healthcare or private insurance for less than $100 a month.

I’m reframing the term emergency fund. It’s incredibly triggering and fear is rarely a good motivator. Instead I’ll be calling it a Solution Fund because that’s how I see money. It’s a problem solver. A stress reducer. A convenience provider.

Keeping your lifestyle relatively the same for 2-3 years even as your income increases is a huge life hack. Even when I started making multiple six figures I kept living in my $1,900 studio apartment. Even after I hit a million, I still only upgraded to a $2,800 2-bedroom.

I’m sorry if you just started investing & the market’s down. There’s no free lunch in investing. I invested $50,000 4 months before the 3/2020 crash. It sucked to see $15,000 disappear but the market recovered & so did my account. Remember that you’re in this for the LONG TERM.

How to semi-retire early:. Once you reach $400K in investments, stop investing & scale back to working part-time just to cover your living expenses. The $400K will continue to compound for the next 15 years and grow to $1.6 million.

If you want private health insurance in Portugal, you have to buy it through the bank. I just got the quote sheet and prices range from 14€ to 116€ a month. She recommended the 80€ a month policy which includes dental. Way better than the $700 a month I was paying in Cali!.

I’m single & turning 40 this year. Like most people I thought I’d be married by now & sharing living expenses with someone but that hasn’t happened. Being single is not a temporary state. It’s the default. Life will keep moving despite your relationship status so plan for it.

I understand that $6,100 a month is high for most people, but my income is not most people’s. What I’ll spend in a year men literally spend on a car & they’ll be congratulated for it with no questions asked. I don’t mind being transparent, but I hate the double standard.

This is how generational wealth is built: . Open an investment account the day your baby is born. Invest $150 a month into index funds for 20 years to reach $100K. A 20-year old with $100K invested in index funds will have $4.5M by the time they’re 60.

When a woman gets married her workload increases by 7 hrs/week while a man’s workload decreases by 1 hr/week. A patriarchal marriage is antithetical to a woman’s journey for financial independence. It exploits her for her unpaid labor & upholds the wealth gap.

If an employer “can’t” or “won’t” pay you more, promote you, or treat you better, the effect is the same. Your response should be to move on to a company that will provide those things. Don’t waste 3-5 years trying to convince them to give you what you know you deserve.
