I didn’t learn about money when I had it—I learned when I didn’t. Working at 3 financial institutions showed me both sides of the coin: how money works and how it's marketed to you. That’s why I’m so passionate about simplifying financial planning for everyone.

I think I need to add “as seen on @GMA” to my website and media kit. I didn’t know when it was airing, but I’m grateful someone got a picture of me talking about “Cash Only Weekends” to help with your budget and cash flow! Thank you, more please!🙌🏾

STOP ANNOUNCING TOURS AND HAVING THE PRE-SALE THE VERY NEXT DAY!!!!!!!

“I spent countless hours watching and editing..” - Stevie Wonder is a fool😂😂 #BETAwards

My Millennial heart was happy with that 20 year shuffle of performances! Whew — a time in music! Hopefully the BET Awards keeps this vibe the whole show! #BETAwards

This new Clipse made my heart smile. So happy to hear No Malice again. This is about to be a fun project I can feel it. *hits repeat to hear the Easter eggs..

BG: Girl,USE YOUR EARS Lish: We tried to tell you. Now look atcha. Just laying there. Get up. 😂😂😂 this is hilarious lmao

What are your personal recession indicators? When do you feel it before the headlines say it? Drop yours. Let’s yapp about it.

We get into recession indicators moving from hashtags to harsh reality in my latest newsletter: • What recession indicators really mean • How to spot shifts early • Steps to recession-proof your money now Read:

Here’s what can help right now: • Recheck your baseline budget • Rebuild your emergency stash • Track what’s essential vs. what’s emotional • Pause lifestyle creep before it takes over

Economists watch interest rates. You watch your account say “pending deposit.” Yeaaah — • paycheck to paycheck feels like paycheck to Monday • Credit card balances creep up • You need a payment plan for fast food • Side gigs turn into survival gigs Side quests are a must!

Forget the Fed. Here are some real recession indicators: - Black Eyed Peas are back on tour - Pack hair is flying off the shelves - Groceries are going on Afterpay - Dollar Tree = A couple dollars store - Convenience fees for bills that didn’t need to appear. Hashtag only, huh

“Looks at bank account… yup, that’s my recession indicator.” If Monica & Brandy are going on tour together… If Buy Now Pay Later turns into Can’t Pay Later… Some of us are already in our own version of a recession. 🧵

Zillow just reported monthly home value drops in 27/50 states. This is no longer just a Texas/Florida downturn.

Already got Part 2 on deck (IRS, overdrafts, collections 👀) What’s a money f*ck ups you want me to break down in this series? 🎥 Full video:

I let lifestyle creep run me. Not TLC either. Even when I made more, I spent more—thinking I had “room.” Swiper was swiping. Now? I treat saving like a bill. I track my money every 2 weeks. And I read my benefits—because you can’t grow what you don’t understand.

Emergency fund? Who? Whet?! I didn’t negotiate severance. I didn’t tax plan. And my unemployment? Took months. It was the trenches. So I panicked and cashed out my retirement early early. Wasn’t much in there to start with. IF I had 1 month saved?! Babyyeee.

I thought I had a budget. Nah. I had vibes not even a spreadsheet. Plus my parents taught me about money. At $10.71/hr, I was trying—but not planning. When I got laid off, everything fell apart. I would've told myself: bish stop playing & build a budget that works. Shit.

Mind you, this was from my 20s — This ain’t “stop buying Starbucks.” My f*ck ups were real: 🚫 No emergency fund 🧾 A budget that didn’t budget 👀 Not tracking spending 🛍️ Lifestyle creep 📑 Not even checking my job benefits All while acting like I had it handled…

I learned about money when I didn’t have any. Like…unemployment delayed, retirement CASHED out, overdraft life—none. So I made a video breaking down 5 of my biggest money f*ck ups 👇🏾 And what I’d tell my 20/30-something self if I could run it back. Chile..
