If your goal is to be completely financially free, maybe living off of the grid or just so wealthy that you'll never work, volunteer, need a loan, co-sign for someone and you will be layered in assets galore, that is fine. Life isn't always about your assets. Sometimes you need to prove you are not bat crazy with your finances.

I by no means am a BRICS expert, but I do explain here, in the most simplistic form, what you might need to know as a springboard on BRICS and how it might behoove you to invest- even if you only have $10 a paycheck to spare.

Impulse shopping feels good in the moment, yet, this coping mechanism has downsides. Impulsive shopping often leads to buyer's remorse and financial strain, perpetuating the cycle of negative emotions.
The guilt and shame that follow the buying spree can further reinforce the feelings of being out of control and unable to make healthy decisions. It's a temporary fix for deeper issues, like putting a band-aid on a wound that needs proper attention.
This is where #financialtherapy comes in.

In The Finance Therapist podcast, we talk about all things feelings and finance.
In today's episode, it is a short relaxation. We can't deny our feelings as finance is not just dollars and cents.
A short relaxation session can be a powerful tool to release financial vulnerability by providing a much-needed respite from stress and anxiety.
When stressed about financial issues, our minds can become clouded, making it challenging to think clearly and make informed decisions. Taking a moment to relax allows us to clear our minds, gaining clarity and perspective on our financial situation.
Moreover, relaxation activates the body's parasympathetic nervous system, promoting calmness and rejuvenation. By easing stress, we conserve mental and emotional energy, which can be channeled toward finding practical solutions to financial challenges.

Unveiling the SAVE Plan - A Game-Changing Student Loan Repayment Program
In this episode, we dive into the recent launch of the SAVE plan by the Biden administration, a groundbreaking student loan repayment program designed to offer borrowers a much-needed financial break. Here's what you need to know:
-
The Biden administration has introduced the SAVE plan through a beta application, giving borrowers an early chance to enroll in this innovative repayment program.
-
The SAVE plan is tailored to peg borrowers' monthly payments to their income, providing a welcome relief from financial burdens. Unlike previous IDR options, it addresses the snowballing interest issue that has troubled borrowers in the past.
-
The rollout of the beta site coincides with the impending resumption of student loan repayments this fall, following a three-year pause due to the COVID health crisis. This development comes just a month after the Supreme Court blocked President Joe Biden's ambitious plan to forgive up to $20,000 in debt per student borrower.
-
Wondering how much you can save with the SAVE plan? According to the Biden administration, monthly payments could be cut in half or even reduced to $0. Some borrowers may save up to $1,000 annually on their repayments.
- Eligibility for the SAVE plan is open to borrowers with a direct loan in good
-
standing, as per the Education Department's guidelines. Notably, it will replace the existing Revised Pay-As-You-Earn (REPAYE) plan, automatically enrolling current REPAYE plan participants into SAVE with adjusted payments.
-
The core mechanism of the SAVE plan revolves around reducing the percentage of personal income allocated to student loans each month. For undergraduate loans, the current IDR model mandates borrowers to pay 10% of their income above 225% of the poverty line. However, the SAVE plan slashes this to just 5%, offering significant relief.
-
For individuals with both undergraduate and graduate loans, payments are based on a weighted average ranging from 5% to 10% of their income, considering the original principal balances of their loans.
-
As an example, a borrower with an income of $40,000 and two family members may expect to pay $47 monthly under the SAVE plan.

What can Black Friday tell us about where we are heading and what is happening beneath the surface?
A groundbreaking day on a global level as Pfizer gives hope to our health, wellness, education and economy.
The movie Cinderella is a classic, but it's also sexist and does nothing to help close the wage gap for young girls, and here's why.
One of the main problems with this film is that Cinderella doesn't fight back against her stepmother and stepsisters. There are many ways she could have fought back without using violence or magic, for example by talking to the king about how they were treating her. She never tried to stand up for herself in any way. This sends a message that women should just put up with mistreatment from other people because there isn't anything you can do about it anyway. It's not like she was living in an oppressive country where she couldn't speak out against injustice, she lived in a palace!
If you want your kids to learn positive values instead of negative ones, don't let them watch this sexist film! Instead go see something else at the movies or rent one of these films on Amazon Prime instead - Inside Out, Braveheart, Sense, and Sensibility
