Helping you get out of debt, win with money, and have fun in the process. Let's create a life you love.❤️💰

Renting isn’t falling behind, it can be the smartest financial move. If it helps you pay off debt, save, and buy when you’re truly ready, you’re already winning. Don’t rush homeownership just because everyone else is.

What you believe about money, yourself and the world shapes how your life will unfold. Every single day you have the power to make decisions that will move you forward financially or set you back. It’s up to you.

Until we accept the reality that the freedom money brings also comes with the responsibility to manage it well, we’ll never get to pursue the life we truly want. Instead, we’ll always be playing catch-up with our random desires and whims.

Did any of these car brands surprise you?

[Connect.RachelCruze @ConnectRachel3]

Your car should get you where you need to go, not define your worth. I’d rather drive a paid-off car and have financial peace than chase an image with a monthly payment. Looking wealthy and building wealth are rarely the same thing.

Culture says: "Buy now, Pay later. Do what makes you happy in the moment, and don't worry about the future." We are told instant gratification is a good thing because it allows you to live the life you want this second, even if you don't have the money to support it.

The root of most people's fears about budgeting comes down to this question: "How can I do everything I want to do without making any sacrifices?"

Until you have a budget, you won't know how much you can spend - and you won't know when to tell yourself no.

What would you rate my impressions? 😂

[Connect.RachelCruze @ConnectRachel3]

Don't be apathetic with your finances. Be proactive. You can make your money work for you when you start paying attention and telling it where to go. Whether you are paying off debt or saving for retirement, YOU are the one who can tell it where to go and take control back!

Today's reminder: your net worth does not determine your self-worth. Keep that in mind as you build and continue to go after goals this year!

Do you ever think “if I could just make more money… everything would be fixed?” Did you know 47% of Americans who make 150k - 200k a year are still living paycheck to paycheck? So much of your personal financial health comes down to your habits and behavior toward your money.

There are valid reasons for a prenup, particularly when one partner brings significantly more assets into the marriage. Still, a healthy marriage is about growing beyond individual interests and embracing a shared future. Healthy marriages are built on trust, not self-protection.

Grace and truth lead to healthy boundaries, and healthy boundaries lead to healthy relationships and a rich life.

There are things you can do to improve your life. You're not doomed to repeat your parent's mistakes.

You can learn new information and new behaviors and choose new habits.

True financial peace happens when money is your tool, not your master. And that can't happen if your soul is dependent on yourself or money.

Giving is the mechanism that helps you learn where your true security comes from.

[Connect.RachelCruze @ConnectRachel3]

One of the best questions to ask yourself before purchasing: if no one sees this purchase, will I still want it?

[Connect.RachelCruze @ConnectRachel3]

Contentment isn't when we have enough. It's when what we have is enough.

What are some things you do with money that others would consider are weird or controversial?👇🏻
