Monday is here again, and if you were hoping for an early spring, Punxsutawney Phil said you're out of luck and winter is sticking around for another 6 weeks. Womp womp. BUT, there are plenty of other good things going on, particularly the addition of a few new faces in this community! Please give a warm welcome to Dr. @Ann Bell and @Grace Plata -- I have had the pleasure of meeting both of these women in real life and they are AMAZING. Dr. Ann is a chiropractor by trade and is transitioning into the Quantum Light & Brain Activation space and her work is quite literally life-changing. Grace is a fellow real estate investor who co-manages the very active and engaging Real Estate BFF community in Chicago with @Oscar Setiawan. Excited to have both of you ladies in the community! If you haven't already, please check out the Welcome Thread and introduce yourselves! 𝗦𝗢𝗠𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗘𝗫𝗖𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗜𝗦 𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗛: So, we are just 2 members shy of 50, and I am trying to actively grow this group so we can help other people get a better grasp on their finances, get their mindset right, and have a future they're excited about!

This is a great month to do it, as we are building out the budgeting tool and everyone who joins will get free access to the budget and get a chance to shape it into the final product. Finally, wanted to give shout outs to both @Scarlett Wieliczki and @Krista Brea for taking action in their personal finance journey! I have pinned both of their posts if you're looking for a little inspiration or motivation in your own journey.

Let’s get to know each other a little! If you’re new here, take a minute to drop an intro in the comments. Nothing fancy -- just share: - Who you are / where you’re from - What brought you here - Something fun or unexpected about you (hobby, favorite food, weird talent, etc.) I’ll go first so you don’t have to be the guinea pig. Can’t wait to meet you all!
