I want a soft life and I want to retire early but right now I’m in my business baddie era building and investing in myself so I can make that happen. I’m learning to enjoy the journey and romanticizing the unsexy parts of building my business and managing my personal finances as a full-time creator & founder. I’ve been using @use.origin to track my spending, savings, investments, and overall net worth. The AI financial advisor has been helping me identify where I can cut back, so I can put more of my money into my savings and investments. Remember girlies soft life is the goal but you need a strategy to get there. #OriginPartner #originfinancial
