Morning Davis. How you doing? Like across the board, across the world, the everything that's going on, it's, it's causing people's purchasing power when they're buying groceries and stuff like that and other things is just, it's across the board. Right. Mortgage payments are going up. Morning Speak Wonder. Hey, thanks for tuning in, switching things up, going earlier in the mornings. Better, better fit for the schedule. So, so keep that in mind. Cash flow, our cash flow, when our cash flow is healthy, we're able to still, you know, do the things we want to do as long as we're not overspending.
So cash flow is number one. Number two, which is really something that I'm still trying to figure out and let me know in the comments if you found ways using AI as a wealth creator. AI has been really helping myself with. I use it every day for like content creation to help with ideation, to help with kind of, you know, the copy, the captions, the titles of my content and you know, marketing myself. And it's about exposure. Right. So using AI to find ways to, you know, boost your skills, you'll lose that because it over and over again.
And so as much as possible avoid that because it is, It's super important to spend within our means and maximize our savings as much as we can because it'll create more freedom for later. So that's all I want to say for this live talked about cash flow, the importance of cash flow especially even though interest rates are lower, they have been slowly going up and for example like me and my wife, we're going to be, we have our mortgage renewal coming up for this June and it will bump up the, the monthly payment a decent amount.
So we have to prepare for that. So by preparing for that I gotta really manage cash flow well like month to month expenses and investments to ensure that yeah, everything's, everything's accounted for. Right. There's no financial leakage. So preparing for that with your cash flow, when interest rates are slowly creeping up and inflation is high. We talked about AI using it to get ahead. Doesn't mean you have to use. You don't use it for everything, but just use it as a tool. And then number three would be, yeah, don't upgrade if you don't have to if it's gonna financially strap you.
Right. Or get you into further into debt. So Those are my three tips for 2026. Give them a go. Try all of them or try a few of them that are that will help you and where you're at right now for 2026. And again, May be happy, maybe healthy, may be at peace. Take care of it. Sa. Sam.
