Practice What You Preach

By Melisa Handley / March 21, 2024

Since we last talked about this I made $1.87.

Let’s continue the conversation.

Last week we talked about APY, and the importance of having a high yield savings account. If you are not in a position to invest, but at the least you have a savings account do yourself a favor and at least make sure the APY is high.

I’m an advocate of practicing what I preach, here’s a photo taken today of my own. I put 1k into a Wealthfront account since my last post (roughly 1 week ago for reference) and here is the result TODAY

Some of you may think $1.87 isn’t much in the grand scheme of things, but those of you who plan for the longterm and already understand the power of compounding will know the real value of this.

As always, thanks for reading.

Hello again, if you made it this far I just want to start off by saying thank you for checking out my website. I'm Melisa Mikko Handley. I'm a first generation American, born in Okinawa, Japan, and raised in Joshua, Texas. (Thank you Dad) My creative journey started as early as elementary school. I grew up in what some would call a "broken home" and found freedom through reading and writing. I am thankful for my upbringing, because it gave me motivation. After leaving home, like most I stumbled around (or so I thought). I had gotten into the service industry where I learned more about people than I ever did food. How people acted, how they would think, what they would wear, how they would "brand" themselves. People are walking billboards I thought to myself often. With the help of a couple of good people, and a understanding general manger (Thanks Kate) I was able to support myself and pay for Bachelor of Business in Marketing at Tarleton. Like most, my story doesn't end here. It's only getting started. But, we will save that for when we meet again. Cheers, Melisa Mikko
