Protect your nuts brother!

Pull up your bank statement. Last 30 days. That's it.

No spreadsheet. No categories. No grading yourself on a curve.

Just read it top to bottom like you're reading a story about some other guy.

You'll start noticing things. The charge that shows up every single Tuesday. The category you didn't know you had. The number that surprises you, or doesn't.

You don't have to fix a thing this week.

Some weeks the move isn't to act. It's just to see.

Easy to see what it's costing you now. What's it costing future you?

There’s a better first question than “how much do I need?”

It’s “what am I actually building.”

I created a quiz for you to find out.

Link’s in the comments. Takes 2 minutes, no judgment.

Ask guys our age what their plan is...

Half of us laugh. The other half change the subject.

Real talk though...

When you picture retirement, is it passport stamps and porch coffee?

Or is it “long as I got my Slim Jims, I’m good”?

No judgment, brother. I’ve been squarely in Slim Jim territory before.

There’s a quiz that’ll tell you exactly where you stand in about 2 minutes. Honest questions, a laugh or two, zero lecturing.

Comment “NUTS” and I’ll send it your way.

Some guys think "I'll figure it out later" is a strategy.

Have you ever seriously pictured retiring before 67?

Actually run the numbers?

If you’re like a lot of us, you just assume you’ll work till somebody kicks you out.

Make no mistake, my brother, assuming isn't planning. It only feels like a plan right up until it doesn't.

The gap between "I've got thoughts" and "I've got a plan" is smaller than you think.

It's 6 honest questions.

Get them with the link in the comments.

Takes 2 minutes.

And, hey, you might get a laugh or two out of them.

I stared at my $1,000 nut for months.

I didn't touch it and I didn’t know what came next. Just stared at it like it was gonna tell me something.

That gap between saving some cash and knowing what to do with it cost me real time.

Tomorrow I'm laying out exactly what I did next. It took longer to decide than it did to do it.

Comment STASH and I'll send you the link to sign up before it drops.

If you picked anything other than the first one, same, brother. Same.

For the rest of the quiz, comment “NUTS” and I’ll send you the link.
