Set Your Money Intentions
Give every dollar a job by naming what matters: a three-month safety net, a first index fund, or a home down payment. Pick amounts and timelines you can actually believe. Tell us one goal today, and subscribe to stay accountable.
Budgeting That Actually Sticks
Try 50/30/20, zero-based, or pay-yourself-first. The best system is the one you use consistently, not perfectly. Begin with one category tweak this week, then tell us how it felt and subscribe for a gentle nudge next week.

Focus on big rocks—housing, transport, food—where small changes matter. Check weekly rather than daily to reduce fatigue. Did one category surprise you? Share your insight and stay tuned for templates arriving in our next email.
Core Investment Building Blocks
One fund can hold thousands of companies, reducing guesswork and company-specific risk. Low fees are powerful; they preserve more of your return. Tell us your first fund pick, and subscribe for a checklist to evaluate total costs.

Government and high-quality corporate bonds can soften stock swings and provide income. Shorter durations reduce interest-rate sensitivity. What percentage of bonds fits your temperament? Share your approach and get our quick explainer by subscribing.
Behavior Over Brilliance
Invest a fixed amount on schedule, regardless of headlines. This reduces the pressure of picking the “perfect” day and keeps you moving forward. What cadence works for you? Share it, and subscribe for a printable habit tracker.
Behavior Over Brilliance
When income rises, let savings rise first. Capture part of each raise or windfall for your future before upgrading extras. What’s your automatic raise rule? Post it, and subscribe for a simple raise-capture calculator.
Protect, Review, and Rebalance
Ensure adequate health, disability, renter or homeowner, and liability coverage where relevant. Protection keeps emergencies from unraveling plans. Which policy needs a review? Share your priority, and subscribe for our annual safety checklist.
