🎆💰 Light Up Your Finances this 4th of July! 💰🎆


Hello Reader,

I hope this email finds you in the midst of preparing a legendary BBQ, or perhaps strategically placing your lawn chair for the best view of tonight’s fireworks. 🎇

Before your eyes glaze over at the mention of the word “budget”, hear me out. I promise not to drone on with the usual “save more, spend less” mantra. Instead, I’ll share a little secret with you.

A budget is not a restriction on your spending, it’s a liberation from financial stress.

Think of your budget as your own personal Declaration of Independence… from money worries!

It’s like a financial firework, illuminating the path to your goals and exploding away those pesky money uncertainties. 🎆

And because we’re all about celebrating freedom today, I’ve got a gift for you.

A free online budget template! 💰

It’s user-friendly, and most importantly, it won’t cut into your fireworks-watching time. It’s easier than lighting a sparkler, and significantly less hazardous!

So, amidst the red, white and blue revelries, take a moment to declare your financial freedom by starting your personal budget journey.

Click here to access your free budget template and let your financial independence skyrocket!

Remember, the pursuit of happiness starts with peace of mind, and a personal budget is a step in the right direction. 🎉

Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

Yours in financial freedom,
Dave

PS: This is – without doubt – the corniest email I’ve ever sent. But oh well it was fun to put together. I hope you got a kick out of it.

Hello Reader, I once heard that every human being is neglecting some essential element of their life at any given point in time. One important thing I’ve been neglecting is sharing financial tips with you through this newsletter! 😧 So… my October Resolution (is that a thing?) is to be more consistent in sharing helpful information with you! To kick it off, I want to let you know about a live webinar I’ll be holding with my friend Julie Herres of GreenOak Accounting in a few weeks! 🔗 Click...

Hello Reader, We’re entering the summer season, which of course means a tax payment will soon be due! 🫤 Your second Estimated Tax Payment is due on June 17th. (Typically June 15th, but that’s a Saturday this year… so you get a few extra days.) Whether you receive part of your Private Practice earnings through a paycheck or not, you typically will need to make Estimated Tax Payments over the course of the year. These Estimated Tax Payments, when combined with any payroll tax withholding, help...

Hello Reader, I’ve been excitedly working on a rent versus buy calculator in my spare time. (I’m a numbers dork, yes this is the type of thing that I get excited about!) 🤓 But the other week I tossed my draft calculator in the garbage bin. 🗑️ Why, you ask? Because the New York Times just came out with a truly EXCELLENT rent versus buy calculator. It was fancier and more slick than anything I could put together and honestly… they’ve thought of everything. As soon as I saw it, I knew I needed...
