Who else thinks coffee is a wise investment? 🙋🏼‍♀️

We feel that spending on what’s important to you is much better for your quality of life & ability to stay the course on saving and investing 💸

Focusing on optimizing the big 3:
🏠 Housing
🚗 Transportation
🍔 Food
Will be so much more effective than cutting out a $3 purchase that makes you happy.

This really hits home, especially after a tough week for our family 😢

Time with family and friends is worth so much more than any dollar amount in our bank account💲

Our time here on earth is limited, especially time with our parents and grandparents ⏳

It’s okay to build a better life for you and your family, but don’t sacrifice your relationships just to ‘leave a legacy’ when you are gone 💰

We would rather look back at the memories we have with them, than the time they spent working to leave behind some inheritance 💭

We’re happy to announce that our latest Airbnb went live a week ago! 🙌🏼

What was supposed to be done in 5 days, turned into 4.5 months 😅 But we are thrilled with how this Airbnb turned out 💃🏼

We’ve already had one 5⭐️ review and are looking forward to many more. This unit joins our small but powerful portfolio and will help fund our adventures for years to come 🛩

We’ve gotten 3 bookings so far this month for 12 nights total and those will already surpass what it would’ve made per month as a long term rental. Can’t wait to see the numbers once it gets some reviews under it’s belt and fills out the calendar💰

Here is a little breakdown of how your money can work for you. 💵

In this example, Carl couldn’t decide where to invest his $20,000, so he just left in his savings account. This account yielded an average return of 0.25%, making his money worth a whopping $20,251 and don’t even get us started on inflation! 📉

Carly didn’t want to do any research on the stock market and deal with CEO tweets killing her gains so she decided to invest all of her $20,000 into the S&P 500. After 5 years, her money is now worth $39,167 💰

Carlos invested his $20,000 into a rental home and immediately started to rent his property out. With the net rental cashflow, equity in his home (paid by renters), and appreciation on the property, his money is now worth $75,703 🤯

Don’t just sit on your hard earned money. Invest it wisely and watch it grow! 💸

Damn! This tweet from @budgetdog hits heavy 🏋🏼‍♀️

Less than 6 years ago we were poorer than when we were born 👶🏼

Within 3 years we flipped that on its head and retired from our 9-5s using frugality, saving, and aggressively investing 🏝

The biggest thing we invested in was ourselves. We learned about investing, weren’t afraid to make mistakes, and focused on slashing our unnecessary expenses 🔪

If you aren’t saving or investing your hard earned money, take this as a sign to start. There’s no better than time than now 💸

One of our favorite things about our life is traveling with friends! 👩🏼‍🤝‍👨🏻👩🏻‍🤝‍👨🏼

We’ve built a life that gives us the time and the money to travel anytime our friends are available ✈️

Typically, our friends only have a week or two of vacation per year so we try to maximize the time as much as possible 📆

Everyone gets to have new experiences, see new cities & countries, and make memories that last a lifetime 💭

You can make money moves that’ll give you the freedom to do whatever is important to you, too! 💸
