Just finished a 10k this morning. 🏃🏾‍♂️

Nobody shows up on race day and runs 6.2 miles on willpower alone. You get there one training run at a time, especially on the mornings you didn’t feel like going.

Money works the same way. Last week we looked at the calendar, the receipts, our habits, the jar, the practice, and the community. Each one is a small step toward the 2027 finish line.

So take an honest look: where did your money go this year, and what’s one thing you’ll do differently?

This is where wealth gets built. Not on Wall Street. Right here.

Every dollar spent at a local business keeps working in our community. It pays a neighbor’s wages, supports a family-owned shop, and helps the place we call home keep growing.

Getting ready for 2027 isn’t only about your own wallet. It’s about the community you want to live in.

Nobody wins a game in the fourth quarter. They win it in practice. 🏀

I coach youth girls basketball, and the teams that stay calm late in close games are the ones that put in the work on Tuesday nights when nobody was watching.

Your finances work the same way. January 1st is game day. The next 70 days are practice.

Review your spending, start the jar, and build one small habit. Those reps add up.

What’s one thing you’re practicing before 2027 tips off?

An emergency fund isn’t boring. It’s freedom with a lid on it. 🫙

A car repair, a furnace that quits in January, or a surprise bill shouldn’t turn into a credit card balance you’re still paying off in 2027.

The jar doesn’t have to be full today. It just has to be started.

Many people aim to set aside a few months of essential expenses over time, but your first goal can be much smaller, like $500 or $1,000. Then build from there.

Is your jar empty, started, or full? Be honest.

Small habits don’t feel like anything. Until they’re everything. ☕

You didn’t build your coffee habit by deciding to. You built it one cup at a time, until it became automatic.

Money works the same way. One small move, repeated, beats one big resolution every time.

Try this: attach a money habit to something you already do. After I pour my coffee, I check my bank balance. That’s it. Thirty seconds.

This month’s Book of the Month is Atomic Habits. If you’re reading along, what habit are you building?

Your budget isn’t broken. You just haven’t looked at it. 🧾

Every receipt is a vote for what you actually value, not what you say you value.

Here’s today’s 10-minute challenge: grab your receipts or open your banking app and look at where October went. Don’t judge it. Just look.

Groceries? Takeout? Subscriptions you forgot about? Whatever you find is the starting line for 2027.

What surprised you most when you looked?

74 days. That’s how much of 2026 you have left to set up 2027. 📅

Most people wait until January 1st to start thinking about money. By then, the best moves for this year are already gone.

This week I’m posting one picture a day, one simple step at a time, to get ready for 2027.

What’s one money move you want done before the ball drops?

Finish what you start! I ran in the MSUFCU Freep Marathon - 5K Race this morning. Looking back at where I started in January, I can’t believe how far I’ve come. Progress is small but still there.

Hit one of my goals for the year! TY “5k On The Run Way”. By far the flattest run of the year, you gave me my fastest mile pace at 9:43. I celebrate this milestone for many reasons but mainly because of the planning and work it took to hit it. We still have much room to go but this speaks to my theme for this time of the year which is planning. Out side of the interesting pumpkin spice season, Fall/ Autumn. We got the Halloween and all the holidays staring us in the face. Join me in attacking it so it does attack us. I hear you Mariah but Christmas is too far away still but secretly not really.

Try again!

That’s what they sang in exaltation. “Try again!” That’s what they said to me after a hard-fought battle.

Close to a year ago, I came up short in a big race. My opponents posted videos of their celebration. The weird part was, in their taunting, they sang, “Try again!”

My response: Bet.

No, this isn’t any official declaration. Just a shoutout to anyone who never quits, never gives up, and learns from each and every battle.

I ran my first 10K today. It was challenging, but I was ready.

In life, you will not win every battle. But as long as you can, whenever you can, ALWAYS try again.
