Great tip for long-term purchases:
"We're going on an Alaskan cruise next year and I need a lot of stuff. I created an Amazon list and every paycheck, I will buy one thing that is on sale that week. By the time we cruise, I will have everything I need and no debt!"

Growing up, we always told kids "let's go potty."
Today, I learned from my grandma that potty training kids, they had literal pots with handles on it for the kids to use who couldn't reach the toilet.
Potty is because it was a literal POT. Never even thought about it.

So many young adults are uncomfortable or unsure how to handle simple phone calls.
To help my kids get comfortable dealing professional offices, I have my kids, 8+ call to pay their own bills when they come. I'm there to help and the pediatrician is always patient and reassuring.

Snacks! Bring so many snacks. And fully charged electronics. And splurge for a direct flight when possible.

After this crazy flight, its time to plan a podcast episode on air travel with kids (and pets!).
What are your favorite/best tips for flying with kids?

Personally, I like to get a 401k match then max out my IRA before putting more in my 401k.
But that is too much work for most people and they just won't make the effort to do it.
Just add more to your 401k.
Every raise, add a little more.
Done is better than perfect.

There are people right now worried about 30 year fixed rate home loans between 6-7%.
But they don't worry about their 22% credit card or their 8.5% BMW...
That Is crazy! To comfortably afford a $1,000 a month payment you need to be making around $240,000 a year!

15% of new cars sold near end of 2022 have a $1,000 or higher car payment.
A $700/mo car payment is a bad idea.
A $1,000/mo car payment is a horrible idea.

I've thought of myself as a boring SAHM the last 10 years. Today, my PT told me "you're amazing! It seems like you've done everything!"
Got me thinking the last 10 years and all the different things I've done for myself and other people:
