Ever heard of FU Money? 🖕🏼 It’s not just a Ever heard of FU Money? 🖕🏼 It’s not just a pile of cash, it’s a ticket to freedom—the kind of freedom where you can finally leave your 9-5 to dive headfirst into your passion project. But let’s be real: taking the leap is terrifying. (and honestly, I am not sure if you are ever really ready) Going all-in on a dream project isn’t a gentle step; it’s a plunge. There’s no weekly pay check safety net, no steady benefits package. But here’s the thing: if you don’t fully commit, it rarely has a chance to grow into something real. Taking that risk can be the very thing that makes your passion a sustainable, full-time gig. When I made the decision that I wanted to quit my job (they laid me off 2 days before I got the chance to)... I had my FU money ready to go, it gave me 6 months to try and make this freelance gig work. But luckily I didn't have to use it as I got a severance package. I know this stuff only happens in the movies. 🤩 So, here’s how to start building your FU Money fund to get you to that place where you’re ready to leap—and land strong: ➊ Set Your Freedom Goal: Estimate how much you’d need to cover 6-12 months of expenses. Not your rainy-day fund; this is the I’m going for it fund. ➋ Trim the Extras: Dive into your budget, see where you can cut or pause. Every dollar counts towards your freedom. ➌ Fuel the Fund: Side hustles, freelance gigs, or anything that adds to the pot helps speed things up. The more you build now, the more stable you’ll feel later. ➍ Make It Auto: Set up automatic transfers into a separate account. It’s like paying your future freedom as a bill each month. ➎ Check In & Recalibrate: Keep an eye on your fund and remind yourself what it’s for! The process is challenging, but every saved dollar brings you closer to that moment of saying, ‘I’m all in.’ It’s scary, it’s exciting, and it’s 100% worth it if it’s going to make you happier. 🫶🏼 . . . . #FUMoney #FinancialFreedom #ChasingDreams #QuitYourDayJob #FreedomFund #FullTimePassion #FinancialGoals #BudgetingTips #MoneyMindset #FreedomPlan #moneymanagement #BusinessPlan #EntrepreneurDreams
Pantone’s Color of the Year 2025 is here: Mocha Pantone’s Color of the Year 2025 is here: Mocha Mousse! At first, I wasn’t sure about this earthy, neutral tone—it’s definitely a departure from brighter past picks. But the more I’ve explored it, the more I see its potential. Mocha Mousse is rich, grounding, and versatile. Why Mocha Mousse? This shade pairs beautifully with vibrant, bold colors for a striking contrast or softer tones for a sophisticated feel. It’s an excellent choice for timeless, balanced designs. I’ll be sharing creative color combinations featuring Mocha Mousse soon—stay tuned! Sometimes you just have to trust @pantone in their color choice. What do you think of this year’s pick? Let me know in the comments! _____________________________ #Pantone2025 #PantoneColorOfTheYear #MochaMousse #ColorTrends2025 #ColorInspiration #NeutralTones #EarthyColors #CanvaDesign #CanvaTemplates #CanvaTips #CreativeDesign #DesignInspiration #ColorPaletteIdeas #BrandingTips #GraphicDesignTips #VisualStorytelling
