It’s Monday morning. What’s your vibe?

Check automations, zap a side hustle task, and hit the market open.

Priorities set, gym done, then deep work—boundaries on point.

Coffee, calendar, and a calm commute. Routine is comfort.

Brainstorm a new passion project before emails. Spark first, inbox later.

Your investing style in one line:

Max everything, low-cost index funds, and house-hacks for the win.

Automatic contributions, diversified, and review quarterly.

Question 4 of 10

You receive an unexpected $10,000. First move?

Shovel 90% into broad-market ETFs and boost my emergency fund.

Split it: a mini-vacation, extra mortgage payment, invest the rest.

Seed money for a micro-business or gear for a creative pursuit.
