I needed this! Hopefully this helps you too.

This is a word!!! I fell for this for a while and then I woke up. A man should add to your life positively, but in my opinion women should still have our own. Financial independence gives you freedom of choice as well as flexibility to move and go as necessary. Even if you want a high value man please still have your own. Every woman doesn't want to be a girl boss and work 60+ hours and I get that, but have your own. This could be a small business, food/grocery delivery, remote work like data entry or administrative assistant, etc. Every "high value" man man won't hurt or leave you destitute/take advantage of you, but give yourself the life of your dreams! You got this!

"Don't let anyone make you feel less than because of where you may be right now, you are the author of your own story while they are merely a reader and unfortunately some people are illiterate..."

She did that

Even though it may be sad, many of us are starting to realize that student loans are not going to be paid off. Before the pandemmy I had over $16,355 in student loans. And like many others I didn’t receive a degree from the loans I took out. After talking with a neighbor and just thinking about my life. I decided to start paying them while they had no interest. I started paying off my debt in March. Keep in mind I am not a high earner (yet) and as of this day 6-15-23 I only have $6,957 left to pay off. I worked so much overtime. I didn’t buy new clothes. I don’t have a sugar daddy. I didn’t side hustle myself to death. I didn’t start a business. I didn’t scam anyone. I JUST WORKED MY 9-5. It was hard, but I will be done paying of my loans before September. I will be writing a post of how and why I decided to take this path. I may even start posting on TikTok. I want to be more open and I stepped away from this platform because I was struggling with some personal issues. Idk if anyone will read this, but if anyone does I want to just say, just start! Whether it’s student loans, taking charge of your health, making meaningful relationships. Just start you’ll mess up and when you do keep going. We’re all human, mess ups happen, and even giving up temporarily by taking breaks. But don’t don’t give up forever you got this! Till next time. Level Up on a Buck, but don’t stay stuck! >>>>> NEXT MANIFESTATION, OR MONEY GRAB?

Road to softness

I believe that some people have many roads to a softer life. Some people choose high paying careers, starting a business, or working a regular job. As someone who has fallen victim to believe that there is only one pathway to softness, please understand that everyone has a different path. There is no wrong or right way, some paths are harder just enjoy the journey

If I had a dollar for every woman that I've ever heard saying they'll just let their boyfriend, husband or fiancé worry about the money, I'd be rich! Money is NOT masculine, you have to manage your money whether you're working, a student, a housewife etc.

Personal Investments for July

- School - I only have  5 classes to go before I finished my associates degree

- I am investing in a couple of AI centered companies that I believe in, I want to invest $25-$50 in each until the end of the year.

- Hello Fresh - I spend a lot of time figuring out what I want to eat, and not enough time just enjoying the food. I chose this option because I wanted to try different recipes and have some direction food wise.

- Sisterlocs consultation - I had locs for over 18 years and I cut them because they were damaged. Now I want to to have microlocs or sisterlocs because I love when my hair is long and I am not much for doing a lot to my hair. 

- If I can find one within budget - a food sensitivity test. My mom has been telling me I need one because even though I eat somewhat healthy I may be eating things that give me inflammation.
