Skipping your morning coffee or avoiding avocado toast (or whatever else the "gurus" tell you to cut) isn't going to make you rich. It's just going to make you miserable and resentful of your money. I learned this the hard way after years of deprivation budgeting. Here's what actually works: Plan for the things you enjoy, then make strategic moves with the rest. 💜Love your daily latte? Budget for it guilt-free. 💜Want brunch with friends? Build it into your plan. 💚Deprivation is not a wealth strategy. Focus on the moves that actually matter: smart investing, cutting wasteful spending (not joyful spending), and increasing your income. The shift? Wealth ISN'T built on sacrifice. It's built on strategy. Stop punishing yourself and start planning intentionally. Enjoy your life AND build your future. If you're done with the deprivation mindset and ready to build real wealth without giving up everything you love, join us in Wealth Warriors Community. We're about strategic wins, not sad sandwiches. What's the one thing you REFUSE to cut from your budget? Drop it below!

My Ideal Group Member: A woman in midlife who's tired of pretending she has it all figured out and wants a judgment-free place to talk honestly about money and next steps. If this sounds like you, come join us inside Wealth Warriors. Pull up a seat, take a breath, and let’s figure this out together. Join us here

Censorship of comics and graphic novels has been on the rise. Diverse, independent voices are often the first to lose shelf space, especially when stories tackle real-world topics, identity, or challenge the status quo. Removing these stories isn’t just about a few books: it limits which voices can reach readers, while big publishers with influence usually avoid the line of fire. For a healthy creative community, everyone’s story needs space to be heard, not erased. If your work or reading has faced censorship, share your experience in the comments. Let’s amplify each other: your voice matters. Learn more at https://www.skool.com/mikes-sketchbook-7350/about. Creative Illuminati.
