Personal Finance by Jonathan Rocha

A reminder that tomorrow is Monday. Time to get that bread 😎

I understand that something’s need to be done in person as I am not an absolutist on this however,
as a remote worker myself, I have see nothing but benefits while working from home.

Meetings that don’t need to be taken in person are transitioned to online calls. Not comunting to work saves you time from the road and gas money especially is your job is greater than 40 minutes away.

With this increase in time and cost savings, this allow you to make quick pivots in your personal life in order to get things taken care of outside of work!

‘Remote work is here to stay,’ says New York Federal Reserve Employees prefer to go into the office on some days more than others.

Financial preparation is key.

This year financially, I…

- Bought a house
- Bought an engagement ring
- Planned a proposal
- Under went a FULL home renovation
- Vacationed to Las Vegas
- Threw an engagement party

All of these things MUST be planned for. Years of investing and saving have lead me to have the biggest year of my life.

If you want to achieve your goals with the least amount of risk, YOU MUST PLAN.

What’s the lesson? If you are unaware of what is taxable or not, find a tax professional to help you out in order to avoid situations like this.
