@wealth_director I took a career break because I planned for it financially. I kept quiet, saved, and invested instead of increasing my lifestyle.
I think people underestimate what you can do when you plan ahead.
Before you pay a pro, do a little research.

A lot of financial progress comes from things you don't do.
The car you don't upgrade. The subscription you cancel. The purchase you sleep on. The debt you don't take on.
Sometimes, the best money move is doing nothing.
@frugalbc@MarketPalmer_ I think facing your finances means facing some uncomfortable truths. And fixing them might mean changing a lifestyle you're used to. It's easier to put it off than to make those changes, even when you know they're needed.
@Vertok55@MrsCMFrancis Their color scheme is brown. It's not inviting. It would do them wonders to revamp the marketing colors but the cost/quality is great!
