No one tells you this when you start your career… but it can quietly cost you thousands. Here’s what hit me the most from Sunday's conversation: 1️⃣ I didn’t understand how important tax basics really were. For years, I didn’t even know what questions to ask or what options were available. I wasn’t reckless — I was just uninformed. That “ignorance tax” is real, and a lot of people are paying it without realizing it. 2️⃣ I missed opportunities I didn’t understand I had access to things like an HSA and didn’t use it strategically simply because no one explained the long-term impact. Now Gabe and I are seriously looking at opening one again because I finally see how powerful it can be. 3️⃣ I overpaid without realizing it I never took 15–20 minutes to check if I was overpaying — especially when I was W-2. Overpaying is basically giving the government an interest-free loan, and I did that for years without knowing. 4️⃣ I didn’t have guidance or accountability Knowing what to do is one thing. Actually doing it is another. I didn’t need more Google searches — I needed support. That’s why these conversations matter so much to me now.

💭 What if doing nothing with your money is costing you more than a bad investment ever could? Most people think the biggest money mistake is overspending or investing the wrong way. But the truth? It’s waiting. Every month you delay investing, learning, or even reviewing your plan, you’re losing something you can’t get back — time. 💡 In 1990, $100,000 could buy what now costs over $230,000.That same $100,000, if invested today and left alone for 35 years, could grow to around $816,000 — without adding a single extra dollar. So while your money might feel “safe” sitting in the bank, inflation is quietly eroding its value every single year. 👉 The real risk isn’t making a move —It’s standing still. If you missed last night’s Sundays with Steadyworth, we unpacked why inaction costs so much and what to do to get unstuck — even if you’ve been sitting on the sidelines. 🎥 Watch the replay here: https://www.youtube.com/live/yuNAhy-q11w?si=pUsxTw71qPljPfWY

Last night we shared the 5 money lessons that changed everything for us. No hacks just real life, practical strategies to actually take charge of your money life. These are the 5 things we wish we did sooner... ➡️ Start learning, investing, managing a whole lot sooner ➡️ Spend time actually understanding how money works... inflation, assets, investing, monetary policy ➡️ Putting our money to work for us — investing it what will make us "money while we sleep" ➡️ Money is behavior and mindset before it is math— most of our decisions are emotional, not rational so self-awareness is key in building wealth ➡️ Getting clear on our vision and values sooner because every dollar is a votes for the life you want Most people aren’t struggling because they lack motivation — they’re held back by gaps in knowledge, behavior, or alignment. We’ll unpack those later this week 👀 Watch Full Discussion on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/live/tW7r2o5NCFo?si=RzPu8UedZLFpdRP3
