I'm on a mission to increase financial literacy rates, and more importantly, help you MAKE & SAVE more money, by making personal finance as FUN as possible! I got my start in the content world by posting personal finance videos on TikTok, Youtube, Instagram, & Facebook, where I now have 1.4 million+ combined followers. My weekly newsletter, "Financially Lit(erate)", gives you a quick breakdown of all the news of the week that'll impact your wallet every Wednesday morning.

Good morning Reader! Financially Lit is BACK!! After a hiatus of 7+ months, we’ll be back in your inbox every Wednesday morning sharing the news of the week that’ll impact your wallet. Why did we take such a long break? The writer that helped me out with the newsletter since its inception (shoutout to Noah) took a job with a large bank and they were NOT a fan of him having any side hustles, so he had to leave. We’re back now because I’ve finally found another badass writer (shoutout to Sam)...

Good morning Reader! To all my U.S. readers: hope you had a great Labor Day weekend! To all my non-U.S. readers: Labor Day is a holiday celebrated in honor of the American labor movement in the late 1800s, which pushed for (and eventually achieved) an 8-hour workday. Today, Americans work the longest hours of any industrialized country (442 hours/year more than the average)... though that still only amounts to an average of 34.44 hours per week. Let's dive in...🏊♂️ Market Update Since Last...

Good morning Reader! When I looked at the date on a document yesterday, I thought it was a mistake that it said it was August 29th - the year really is flying by. This means, since I posted my very first TikTok video on August 27, 2020, I've now spent over 3 years creating social media content as nicktalksmoney. That's almost as long as I spent in college, which is WILD to think about. This side hustle-turned-main hustle has truly changed my life, here are 3 key takeaways I've learned along...

Good morning Reader! I forgot to mention this in last week's newsletter, but I climbed two 14ers (mountains that are 14,000+ ft tall) 2 weeks ago with my business partner for N2 Nate Hoskin: I'll let the pictures demonstrate how ridiculously awesome this experience was... I included this blurb as a reminder to live in the moment while also planning for tomorrow: it's easy to forget to live a life you actually enjoy while you're grinding away at an educational, financial, or career goal.

Good morning Reader! Big news: the project I've been working hard on since May is finally ready to launch. Introducing... https://www.n2contentmarketing.com/ The goal of it is to use my, and my co-founder Nate's, years of experience as the most successful CFP® Professionals on social media to teach financial advisors how to leverage short-form video to grow their own business. Obviously, since it's such a niche target market, it probably won't be super applicable to most of you. However, if...
