Hey Rockstars👋 I want to share one of the tools I personally use to actually invest without needing to be a Wall Street wizard or glued to market charts all day.📈 📊 📉 I’ve been using Stash as part of my investing setup, and it’s especially great if you’re: - New to investing and want a clear starting point - Overwhelmed by too many options - Tired of your money just sitting there doing nothing The whole platform is designed to make investing approachable. It gives you guidance, simple explanations, and tools that help you understand what your money is doing and why -- not just “throw money in and hope for the best.” If you’re curious to try it, I’ve got a bonus for you:👉 When you join using my link and deposit at least $5, you’ll get $30 to invest. https://get.stash.com/r/r30c5cr90f30c011226-BNC4PP4P Free money doing the heavy lifting? Love to see it. I also understand that tools alone don’t build confidence. Understanding does. That’s why I put together a FREE course in the Classroom that walks you how to use Stash. If investing has felt intimidating, confusing, or like something “other people” do… this is your on-ramp. Start with the free course. Use the bonus if it makes sense for you. We’re not here to gamble. We’re here to build momentum, Every Day. 🎸💸

Now I need you to tell me what I missed. It’s finally here! I just finished the first version of The Rockstar Budget and I’d genuinely love your honest feedback -- nothing is precious yet 😅 Since this is an early build it means your feedback actually shapes what it becomes. Consider this an open draft. Then, let me know: 👉 Was anything confusing or unclear? 👉 What part clicked immediately for you? 👉 What felt unnecessary or overcomplicated? 👉 What’s one thing you’d want added or explained better? 👉 Would you actually use this monthly? Why or why not? 👉 If you were recommending this to a friend, how would you describe it in one sentence? Tear it apart. I can take it. 😎

I work in the service industry so I get tips in apps all the time. Venmo is my favorite! But I noticed with digital money I treated it like it wasn’t really there. It became an invisible money that I would go use when I wanted to “shop and scroll” for comfort or escapism. After MJ’s influence of giving every dollar a job. I now use the digital money as part of my “meal train” giving for people who need support in daily life struggles. I made a Rule: every tip has to go through the 70/30 split and what is left can go back into the digital wallet after I’ve accounted for it as income. I spent years leaking money because of a refusal to “look” at my habits and take responsibility for my actions. Wow what a gut check. I hope my story inspires you to set some new rules and stop the money leaks. Are there any areas where you are leaking? How do you allocate digital funds? Do you have rules for them?

What are you fine folks up to this weekend?

As we head into a new year, I want to be honest for a moment. I’m walking through some pretty heavy, ongoing personal stuff right now. The kind that doesn’t wrap up neatly or resolve on a timeline. I’ll share more on that soon, but for now, just know that life is doing what life does… stretching, testing, refining. That said, here’s what I do know. I hope 2026 brings you peace, growth, clarity, and prosperity in whatever form you’re chasing it. I don’t really do New Year’s resolutions. I’ve never been big on arbitrary promises made after champagne. But I do believe in setting intentional goals and showing up for them every day, even when it’s messy or inconvenient. So here’s to progress over perfection. Direction over pressure. Momentum over motivation. What are you hoping to accomplish this year personally, professionally, financially, creatively? I’d love to hear what you’re working toward!
