@Nancy_Cruises Finding a new job or opportunity can give you a 10-30% raise. You’ll rarely find that at your current employer.

[Nancy Cruz 🇲🇽 @Nancy_Cruises]

DO NOT. I repeat. DO NOT EVER get comfortable at any job. If you are not getting raises, if you are not moving up, apply to other jobs. Look out for yourself, do better for yourself. Especially if you’re a good worker.

@emmacarew I always ask for the budget and range they have for the position.

[Finance for Gen Z @Finance4GenZ]

@njoybetz The same goes for individuals who accept fellowships and job that pay extremely low but are located in extremely high cost of living areas. Their parents are giving them money.

"I'll be happier when I [fill in the blank]"

There's always something we will be worried about but as soon as it's resolved, something else to worry about will probably come up.

Thus, it's so important to take a break from thinking about the future and focus on the now.

[Finance for Gen Z @Finance4GenZ]

Surround yourself with individuals with similar goals and aspirations as you.

Energy is infectious.

@1stgenmoneymuse Any tips for if there's no recruiter linked to the role?

[Finance for Gen Z @Finance4GenZ]

@slimm_calhoun @1stgenmoneymuse I love this method! Always remember to change the name of the company and double-check that you did! (From personal experience)

Tweaking it a bit to fit the job description and boom you're done!

I do not believe 9-5s are for everyone.

I also do not believe entrepreneurship is for everyone.

What I do believe in is people choosing something that works for them and makes them happy.

Consistency is the success factor for many things in life.

@My_North_Star @Hoochimarusan @LooveIm @abbie__j_ @elcavaqueen Financial abuse is so common and so many women are stuck in unsafe, toxic, and abusive relationships since they can’t afford to leave.

[Finance for Gen Z @Finance4GenZ]

@elcavaqueen It���s so important for women to have their own money and understand how it works to ensure they can always have autonomy over themselves.

[Finance for Gen Z @Finance4GenZ]

@mexistentiaI So many women are in abusive relationships but can’t leave because of financial dependency. The poverty rate for separated women is 3x higher than married women.

The same goes for having only one person take care of ALL the finances. We need to understand money and how it works

[Finance for Gen Z @Finance4GenZ]

I'm a firm believer in education.

I attended college and graduate school.

I watch YouTube videos on topics I'm unfamiliar with.

I read books to expand my knowledge of my interests.

I buy courses that expand on concepts I already know about.

Education comes in so many forms.

@OrangePaulp Just found out recently that you can pay to get featured on lists from major media outlets for articles like “top entrepreneurs to watch”

[Finance for Gen Z @Finance4GenZ]

@thehannahsavage @OrangePaulp 90% of people who are famous are always rich or have already famous parents. It doesn’t matter if they’re musicians, actors, models, even social media influencers.

They’re all connected somehow.

Watching shows all day, everyday after work is easy

Skipping the gym & eating comfort foods is easy

Not working on your business & partying is easy

Spending all your money at the mall is easy

Gossiping about politics, sports and your old friends is easy

Easy doesn’t pay well

In 2020, U.S. banks charged $12.4 billion in overdraft fees.

There are alternatives, many online FDIC-insured banks do not charge overdraft fees AND have higher interest rates than traditional banks.
