Do you get your tax return back and wonder WTF you’re looking at?

This is a quick guide about the different schedules and what they represent.

Every number on your Form 1040 comes from a schedule provided later in your return.

Have rental income? Check it out on Schedule E!

Have a side hustle or received a 1099 as a contractor? Check it out on Schedule C!

Received interest from your HYSA? Check out Schedule B!

There is a method to the tax return madness. You don’t have to be an expert but at least get a grasp of what you’re looking at to ensure its accuracy!

Let’s get real—so many of us struggle with money at some point. Whether it’s debt, relationships and money, budgeting stress, career growth, or feeling behind on savings, we’ve all been there.

But the biggest mistake? Staying silent about it.

I get it. Talking about money can feel uncomfortable, even shameful. Maybe you think you should have it all figured out by now, or maybe you're worried people will judge you if they knew the truth. But here’s the thing: Suffering in silence only makes it worse.

Money stress thrives in isolation. When you keep it to yourself, you miss out on the support, insight, and solutions that could make all the difference. The moment you open up, I promise you, you'll realize you’re not alone. So many others are working through the same things.

This is your reminder: It’s okay to not have it all together.

Talking about money doesn’t have to be scary. Whether it’s with a trusted friend, partner, or someone like me who can help guide you—it’s always better to face it head-on than battle it quietly on your own.

One of the first steps in building confidence with your money is your willingness to start talking about it, ask the questions, push back if needed - speak up.

Follow for all things money and building wealth with confidence.
