“$605 a Week for Daycare… and That’s Just the Beginning.”
I’m a sports-loving, hard-working dad chasing time, money, and memories with my kids. Between daycare bills, groceries, and trying to give my family a good life, I knew I needed to find another way.
So I joined a mentorship program that’s teaching me everything about digital marketing — and I’m sharing everything I learn.
Whether you’re a parent, hustler, or just tired of trading time for money, this might be the sign you’ve been waiting for.
Retirement Tip of the Day: "Practice Retirement While You’re Living It Up Today"
At the heart of every great retirement plan isn't just a 401(k) or a Social Security estimate—it's a clear vision of how you want to spend your days. And what better way to get a glimpse of that than a summer day at the Kewaunee County Fair?
Today’s retirement tip is simple: Practice contentment and joy in everyday experiences.
Retirement doesn’t have to start at 65. It starts when you learn to find fulfillment beyond work. Whether you're petting animals at the petting zoo, sampling a local funnel cake, or cheering at the tractor pull, you're already doing one of the most important retirement “exercises”: learning how to enjoy free time meaningfully.
Here are three things to think about today that tie fun into your retirement mindset:
How would you fill your days if money weren’t the focus?
Fairs are a reminder that simple pleasures—music, food, community—often cost very little.
Who do you want to spend your retirement with?
Whether you’re here with family, friends, or making new connections, relationships will matter more than your retirement account balance.
Are you building a lifestyle now that your future self would thank you for?
Balance fun with smart habits—just like enjoying the fair and skipping the $10 raffle tickets.
Final Thought:
Use days like today as a reminder that your retirement isn’t some distant fantasy—it’s shaped by how you live right now. A financially sound retirement starts with knowing how to find joy, live simply, and build strong community ties.
So, grab that lemonade, soak in the music, and remember: this is a preview of your best years—start living them now.
