In this episode, I'm sharing tips and tools on how to balance both vacationing and investing for retirement. When both of these things hold value, which should you focus on?

You'll learn:

• The first place to start when planning your retirement

• Why deciding what you want your future to be like is the first step in aligning your finances to it

• Four questions to ask before booking that trip so you know your money is going to the right place

• Why having a professional financial advisor is key to making this work well
  
  

Scripture verse:

Luke 14:28

"Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won't you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?"

Takeaway: You don't have to choose between enjoying your life today and preparing for the future. You can make a plan that allows you to do both.

Is your savings actually working for you?

In this episode of Living Your Abundant Life, I break down high-yield savings accounts in simple terms—what they are, when they make sense & how they can help you earn more on money you already have sitting in savings.

In this episode:

• What a high-yield savings account is

• When it makes sense to use one

• How much you may want to keep in savings vs. invest

• Why short-term savings goals can be a great fit for a HYSA

• What to look for when choosing an account

• Fees, minimum balances and other fine print to watch for

• Why I use and recommends Ally Bank

Your money doesn't have to just sit there. Even your savings can be working for you.

Takeaway:
If you have money sitting in a traditional savings account, take a few minutes this week to check the interest rate you're earning and compare it with a high-yield savings account.

Scripture:
"The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance." — Proverbs 21:5
