Think buying a house is impossible? You're not alone; many people do. (🎉Congrats to my clients for closing on their home over the weekend!) Turns out, it might be more doable than you think. Lots of clients started out thinking they couldn't afford it, but then became homeowners.

Happy Tax Day! Hope you legally minimized the amount you had to pay. If you had no clue that taxes were due today. Make sure you submit for an extension to avoid late filing fees. If you end up owing, late payment and interest will still accrue. 😱

The golden handcuffs are finally off! Never been so happy to receive an email from a client to update me they’ve been laid off. This is a client that’s ready and prepared for retirement and wasn’t enjoying their role so it’s something we’ve been crossing our fingers for.

Luke @ Level Up Financial Planning @luketechfinplanner.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

Excited for crazy tax season. It’s not the most fun thing ever, but I just enjoy the grind of knocking them out and counting them down until they’re 100% completed. If you feel you’re not saving enough on your taxes consider HSA, Dependent FSAs, and retirement contributions.

The amount of new developers that lost momentum on their journey because of a viral post telling them they couldn't do it anymore makes me sad. Is today's market harder than it was before? Yes. Did giving up change your circumstances? No. Are you right where you were before? For many, yes. ⤵️ 1/4

If you’re the kind of person who easily forgets what you’ve accomplished, you need a practice for reminding yourself. Count the years, the finished projects, the progress, the praise, count it all up and use it as evidence against the ever present criticism in your head that you’re not doing enough.

Changing the circumstances of your life is incredibly difficult. Whether that is a financial or health based goal. The approach you take has to be fueled by something that can last long even when doubts or negative comments are sent your way.
