Money Musings 💭 I have big news! 🥳
I have some big news to share…
I’M WRITING ANOTHER BOOK.
Yes, I’m yelling lol. But it’s happy yelling. I’m that excited!!!
This is a book for YOU about everything we believe in as the Fiscal Femme community.
It really is such a privilege and believe it will be a project of a lifetime. I’m so excited to take you along for the ride!
I couldn’t be working on this book without some very important people.
🙏 Thank you Leigh my amazing literary agent for supporting my vision, always.
🙏 Thank you Wiley and my amazing team there for taking on this project!
🙏 Thank YOU my amazing Fiscal Femme community! This book wouldn’t be happening without you. I promise to do my best to make you proud and write a book you’re obsessed with.
More soon 🎉 Ok, now I gotta go write a book! 🤣
PS In honor of Financial Literacy Awareness month, Yanely (of @MissBeHelpful) and I are fostering some fun money dialog via a free Money Salon. Join the Money Salon to debate (or listen in on) hot topics in personal finance. Vote on which hot topics you want to see debated via our Instagram stories.
PPS For the time being, so I can dedicate more time to writing, we’ll be posting on the blog once every two weeks rather than every week.
MONEY MOVE OF THE WEEK
Contribute to your IRA before the tax deadline. Even though we’re well into 2021, you can still make 2020 contributions to your IRA (Individual Retirement Account) up until the filing deadline (which is now on May 17th!).
The max you can contribute to your IRA is $6K (or $7K if you’re over 50 years old). Not sure if you should contribute to a Traditional or Roth IRA? Learn more about it here.
If you can’t contribute as much as you want this year, do what you can, and then start setting aside money every paycheck for IRA contributions for 2021.
