We come from a big family.
And we know what’s coming for a lot of you, because we’ve lived it.
You’re building your career.
Maybe raising kids.
Your parents are doing okay… for now.
But if you're the “responsible one,” that moment is coming when everything starts to fall on you.
And when it does, you need to be ready.
Because trying to build a financial system while you're overwhelmed is 5x harder.
THE WINDOW TO PREPARE IS NOW
When you're the go-to person, you will be called on.
To help. To cover. To save the day.
If you wait until it all hits, you'll be forced to choose between supporting others and saving yourself.
Takeaway:
Don’t wait for the crisis. Build the system now.
✅ Start with one of these:
1. Open a high-yield savings account labeled “My Backup Plan”
2. Build at least 3-6 months of emergency savings
3. List your current retirement/investment accounts and automate contributions
DON’T WAIT UNTIL YOU’RE WORN OUT
Many people wait until they're exhausted…
Already deep in caregiving…
And trying to figure out their finances while everyone else is asleep.
That’s not when you want to make big decisions.
That’s survival mode.
Takeaway: Use your current stability as the starting line not as an excuse to delay.
FINANCIAL SELF-CARE IS REAL SELF-CARE
This isn’t just about money.
It’s about energy. Boundaries. Mental freedom.
If you know you’ll be supporting others in the future: parents, siblings, even your own kids, start creating margin now.
🎥 WANT TO SEE WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IN REAL LIFE?
We made a video that shows what really happens when you become the “responsible one” in your family and how it drains you emotionally, financially, and energetically if you’re not ready and what you can do about it.

Closing Thoughts
We’ve lived this.
And the biggest regret we hear from people just like you?
“I wish I had done something before...”
This is your before.
Make the moves now so when the responsibilities come, you’re ready.
Strong. Clear. Supported by systems, not stretched by silence.
Remember, you can’t pour from an empty account.
So fill yours now.
💛 AND IF YOU’RE ALREADY DEEP IN IT…
If you're already doing the caretaking, we see you.
We honor your strength.
Also, just because you’re in the middle of it doesn’t mean it’s too late.
You can still build your plan.
You can still make small, consistent moves.
And you deserve a system that fits your life.
That’s why we teach timeless financial principles not trends.
Our tools don’t expire.
And we’ll never put time limits on your success.
Just keep going.
You’ll look back one day and be proud that you did something for you.
Because you deserve it.
Have a great weekend,
Nadia & Nicole
