I miss the era of flip phones, iPod shuffle’s, AIM and LimeWire… Our generation has been through 5 once in a lifetime events before age 35. And now we’re supposed to plan for retirement, buy a house, raise kids, invest and not mess it up. No wonder everyone feels behind or compelled to do a 180. This is why we built @habits_inc Most people don’t need more advice, they just need the right advisor for their situation. If you want one, we can help you take the first step. -JB

Your job description didn't exist ten years ago. And it might not exist in five… Meanwhile your 30s are the decade where the money decisions you make (or don't make) actually compound. Investing, paying down debt, building a cushion, figuring out what "financial stability" even looks like when your income isn't guaranteed. Most people white-knuckle through it alone. @habits_inc connects you with a vetted financial advisor who works with people in your exact situation: same age, same income range, same set of questions.

Or maybe Japan instead... The unfortunate truth is that things are changing faster than ever and there's a ton of uncertainty around AI, the economy, inflation, and all things in-between. Meanwhile, you're pressured to navigate life's most pivotal milestones alone. Things like buying a home, raising kids, handling promotions or career pivots, mass layoffs, getting married (or divorced), launching or selling a business, and trying to make sense of how AI is going to affect your livelihood. All of which are heavily impacted or influenced by our finances.
