Hey Reader, So....this last week and a half has been...ummm...interesting. Just to give your nervous system a heads up, if you're exhausted from hearing about anything political, just close this email right now! I won't force you to read this. For the rest of you still here: I want to let you know that ILTD is a safe space for queer and trans folks, immigrants, people of color, women, and anyone who believes in love and respect between people, nature, and the universe. I am from a family of immigrants, am a queer and nonbinary person, and believe in protecting people over profits. Sure, money is important to live but it's a completely made up concept. People shouldn't be dying over paper and blockchains. But in our current system, money reigns supreme. When you have money, you have power in the options you get to choose for yourself. Money can be used for evil but it can also be used for good. You get to decide (please choose the good π). As things feel more and more unstable, focus on how you can build as many options as possible for yourself to protect your future and help your fellow humans protect theirs as well. I know that my readers, subscribers, and followers are from all different types of political backgrounds with different beliefs. However, if your beliefs are used as weapons to harm others, I would question those beliefs if I were you. As a reminder -- It isn't red vs. blue, conservatives vs. liberals, or right vs. left. If you mean "us vs. them" in that respect, take a step back. The real "us vs. them" is the 99% vs. the 1% -- the 1% that doesn't matter if you die so they can make a couple more billions, the 1% that only thrive because of the money they make off of the 99%, and the 1% that would love to see the country collapse so they can tighten their control. Anyway...there's some food for thought. If you need any resources to help cope, understand, and resist in these crazy-batshit-hateful-witch-trials times, here are some resources I've been exploring:
I've also been weary of what will happen to healthcare during this time (which is one of the largest expenses for some of us). I don't think it will get any cheaper anytime soon. So, I made it a goal this year to learn more about battling insurance companies for denied claims and how to save more money on healthcare. A few healthcare and patient resources I've been exploring:

Hey Reader, Tax season is here, and with it comes the dread. I used to absolutely hate doing my taxes when I first started freelancing on the side of my day job. I couldn't wrap my head around how much I should save from my side hustle earnings or at what amount do I even have to start paying taxes. Several years later (and several mistakes later), I finally got the hang of it. So -- here's a little crash course to help you get up to speed with your own side hustle taxes. (I also recently...
Hey Reader, I've been doing a ton of research on the different types of jobs out there due to a few articles I've been writing for my clients like Salary Transparent Street and Social Work To Wealth.

Here are 6 high-paying remote jobs I found - β¨according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statisticsβ¨: Digital marketing manager -...
Hey Reader, Canva is my absolute favorite tool out of everything I use to run my side hustle. I use it to create blog graphics, social media graphics, graphics for freelance content I create for clients (like infographics), course content, and digital products like templates to sell online. Creating templates is such a fun and creative side hustle, with some creators making $120,000 a year or more with their Canva template businesses. These creators work anywhere between 5 hours a week to up...
