Twenties Economics

Hello Everyone,

I hope all is well! Today’s episode is introducing the series: Twenties Economics: Making Cents of This Messy Decade

So welcome to Twenties Economics — the series where I break down the chaos of adulting, one financial awakening at a time. Whether you're navigating student loans, figuring out how credit scores actually work, trying to understand what “net worth” means beyond social media, or simply trying to make it to payday without overdrafting — this space is for you.

Why Twenties Economics?

Because no one warned us.
We got the glow-up routines, the vision boards, the degree plans — but where were the real convos about taxes, cost-of-living anxiety, or building wealth while eggs cost $12?

This isn’t about hustle culture. It’s about understanding the real economics of your 20s: the emotional, psychological, and systemic layers that shape how we move through money and career choices. This is where transparency meets strategy and vulnerability meets value.

What To Expect:

Budgeting Realness – Not just spreadsheets, but the mindset behind your money.
Career Moves & Side Hustles – Navigating work with intention (and boundaries).
Wealth Talk for the Rest of Us – Generational wealth, investing, credit repair, debt payoff plans.
Emotional Economics – The psychology of spending, guilt, and financial trauma.
Financial Literacy Made Soft – For the students, freelancers, creatives, and everyone in between.

This series won’t be preachy. It’ll be personal. Sometimes chaotic. Always honest.

🎥 YouTube Integration

The Twenties Economics YouTube series will bring these ideas to life — from $30 grocery hauls and building a business budget to breaking down my debt payoff goals and navigating lifestyle inflation. Think: financial vlogs, transparent reflections, and real-time strategy.

So let’s make cents of this decade — together.
