@_girllockin: I got a 5% raise, and every dollar already has a job! 👏🏽💰 Instead of putting my entire raise toward retirement like I originally planned, I’m adjusting my strategy to support multiple financial goals. 📈 Increasing my 401(k) contributions from 12% to 15% 👧🏽 Increasing my daughter’s investments 🏦 Putting the remaining money toward my own investment and savings goals My new 401(k) allocation will be 10% Traditional and 5% Roth! Building wealth isn’t just about investing as much as possible. It’s about creating a plan that supports your retirement, your family, and your financial goals without falling into lifestyle creep. Every raise is an opportunity to make intentional financial moves. You don’t have to do everything at once, but you should have a plan for where your money is going. What would YOU do with a 5% raise? 👇🏽 Girl, lock in! 💕📈 Want to get better at budgeting your money? I use EveryDollar to plan my spending and stay on track with my financial goals.
