I lie in job interviews. I tell the story of my career path as linear and intentional, when it has been anything but. At #sxsw I will finally have a chance to tell the truth: That I am still figuring it out. schedule.sxsw.com/2026/events/...

Great to be part of LinkedIn CEO Ryan Roslansky’s newsletter/series. The full episode and post: www.linkedin.com/posts/ryanro...

Following a rigid plan for your life/year/day will not make you successful, it will only make you boring. #lifeadvice

I’ve been living without income for a whole year after quitting my corporate job to start my company. Saving money is more important to me now than ever. I just got my first prescription from @costplusdrugs.com for $25. Last time it cost me $85, with insurance. Works as advertised! 😇👍😀 TY!

Scholars say discipline is a personality trait that only some people have and that’s why they’re better than the rest of us… As if! 😜 Don’t be fooled by anyone’s malarkey today. #personalfinance

“The simpler the better” for money and almost everything Thank you @sxsw.com

Quiet moment in a busy place. Enjoyed the Museum of the Future at @sxsw.com

Confusing AI search is “Clippy but verbose.” Sound byte of the day from @meredithmeredith.bsky.social 🤣 #sxsw

Who’s bad with money? Everyone! And no one. Because that’s ridiculous. #personalfinance

Great interview on @vox.com about how diet culture has warped our thinking on budgeting. Respectfully, needing a budget and understanding your expenses are not the same thing. This is why we made a healthy spending app! www.vox.com/even-better/...

We’re listening to the wrong part of behavioral science when it comes to money. Big goals are either motivating or discouraging, depending on your perspective. Small goals get things done. Let’s break it down. #personalfinance #buildinpublic

Step aside, numbers nerds. We the liberal arts folk are rising up to protest the monotony that has been foist upon us by budget spreadsheets. #personalfinance #buildinpublic #severance

The avocados are outside. The avocados are outside!!! youtu.be/bTiZaHf6R_g?...

You got a way to track your personal expenses while you #buildinpublic? We could use some more beta testers who know that “steps to reproduce” is not about continuing a species.

If you’re on FIRE (so to speak), what percent of your monthly income are you saving? We created a FIRE setting in our app with a 60% savings rate, but I’m curious what people out there are doing. Thanks! 🔥 #personalfinance #buildinpublic brightfin.io/503020calcul...

Big thank you to @93xrtchicago.bsky.social for playing **this song** on Nov. 6. I’ve had it on repeat ever since. If you haven’t heard “Right here right now” in 35 years (or at all), here’s your chance. #90smusic youtu.be/MznHdJReoeo?...

Your employer can allow you to use your 401k funds to pay off your student loans. Yes, that is pre-tax money to help you out atop an employer match. Your employer has to manually signup with the IRS. Eventually it may be automatic. #PersonalFinance #StudentLoans #IRS

Your annual reminder that Dr. King believed in guaranteed universal basic income that gave all people a dignified life, guaranteed housing for all, guaranteed access to a high quality education, and said that “no one should be forced to live in poverty while others live in luxury.”

Would really like to know how many thousands (millions?) of people pressed the buttons on either side of the phone at midnight last night. The revolution will be screenshotted. #tiktokban

Emotional goodbyes are happening all over TikTok right now. It’s hard to imagine anything else, especially something called a “platform,” inspiring such a large and diverse population to collective mourning. #tiktok #socialmedia

A 30% splurge can be an important money goal to counteract the scarcity mindset. I hardly ever buy new clothes. But I did have my 40th birthday party on a boat. 😎 #personalfinance #spendsplurgesaveshare www.wsj.com/personal-fin...

“It’s so FAST,” said my sister after using my simple budget app. She is 37. “It’s not hard, it’s easy. Kind of like a video game!” said my niece. She is 6. I should hire these people. #personalfinance #buildinpublic

It’s so weird that we think gyms are for people who are physically fit and budgets are for people whose finances are in shambles. How do people get healthy, physically or financially? Practice. Budgets are for everyone.

The real question isn't 'Do I need this?' but 'Does this genuinely enrich my life?' Mindful spending is about honest answers, not rigid rules.

Thrift and underconsumption are trending, perhaps in reaction to the excesses Pres. Carter warned us about. Are people now more open to messages like this? “We’ve discovered that owning things and consuming things does not satisfy our longing for meaning.” www.nytimes.com/2024/12/29/y...

The 50 30 20 Rule is a balanced formula for monthly spending first proposed in a book titled “All Your Worth.” As the book turns 20, does its author @warren.senate.gov still think 50 30 20 is the right breakdown? If not, we have some alternatives. brightfin.io/bright-blog/...

Great Wordle on Christmas Day this year. #spendsplurgesaveSHARE

The latest release of our *simple* budget app includes a glossary of common personal finance terms, with definitions aimed at 20-30 somethings. Spoiler: HSAs are for you. Annuities are not. The glossary is free. #personalfinance #buildinpublic

What is this? 🌎 The world. What is Brightfin? The simplest budget app in that world. 🧡🩷💚💙 Fact check me, I dare you! 🫵 #personalfinance #spendsplurgesaveshare
