Do you keep 3, 6, or 12 months? I keep at least six.

Start small, keep building, and put it in a high yield savings; accessible, FDIC insured, and with great interest (still in May 2026).

My top picks are below:

Many people don’t lose financially because they’re lazy, but because they didn't see these risks coming. I learned this the hard way.

I grew up watching what happens when money isn’t there — when one event can flip your entire life upside down.

Later in life, even making good money, I still felt it:

unexpected expenses
debt piling up
stress from not having a system

My wife and I paid off over $200K in debt, but that wasn’t the biggest lesson.

The real lesson was this:

It’s not just about making more money. It’s about protecting what you build.

That’s why this matters.

These aren’t random “tips” — they’re the exact risks that quietly destroy progress if you ignore them:

• Income loss
• No plan for expenses
• Misalignment at home
• Falling behind on investing
• Blind automation

You don’t need to be perfect. But you do need to be aware and intentional.

Because once you see the risks, you can finally build something that lasts.

Most people think they're stuck because they need more motivation, more discipline, or another podcast to give them the "right strategy."

But here's what's actually happening; the biggest challenge in most cases is they have nothing to aim at.

They don't know what they want.

They have vague goals that sound like this:

"I want to be better with money,"
"I want to save more,"
"I want to retire someday"
"I don't want to make the same mistakes my parents did"

What do they all mean EXACTLY?

The people I know who've actually changed their financial situation didn't find a secret strategy.

They got ruthlessly clear on what they wanted — specific, visual, with a date attached — and suddenly the daily decisions made themselves.

Your future doesn't get built by accident. It gets built with intention.

So let me ask you...what do YOU want? What are YOU working towards?

Think about it tomorrow morning while you sip on your coffee.

And if you need help, let me know.

Keep going,


Alex

A sinking fund is a dedicated savings bucket for a known future expense. I'm talking about:

Car maintenance.
Annual insurance premiums.
Back to school.
Holiday gifts.

When you set these up inside your high yield savings account and automate monthly contributions, the money is there when you need it and your emergency fund stays intact for actual emergencies.

3 things that are a complete waste of your money:

1) Keeping your retirement money in the wrong fund for years. I did this. It cost me more than I want to admit. Saving is not enough. Where your money goes matters just as much.

2) Waiting until you "have more money" to start investing. Time in the market is the one advantage you cannot buy back once it is gone.

3) The cheapest life insurance when you have a family depending on you. The point is the payout, not saving thirty dollars a month.

What's another waste of money in your experience?

The most freeing wealth advice I ever got?

"Building wealth is supposed to be boring."

It’s like training for a marathon. The goal isn’t to sprint, it’s to find a pace you can live with.

You don’t check your watch every five seconds.

You just need shoes, a trail, and the discipline to show up.

After a lot of research and practice, I’ve learned investing works the same way.

I heard Warren Buffett say once:

“Just buy low cost index funds. Be consistent. Think long term.”

So now I do exactly that. In this stage of my life, I focus on:

• Just buying index funds
• With low expense ratio (<0.3%)
• Automating the contributions
• Long-term focus (thinking decades, not months)

I check my account once a month and move on with my day.

I know the market is crazy right now, but just remember:

You haven't lost anything if you haven't sold.

Keep moving forward,

Alex
