Community & Forum

Money can feel lonely. Our community changes that. Connect with others, share experiences, and learn together.

The Forum​

A friendly space to discuss all things money:

💬 General Discussion​

Chat about personal finance, life goals, career, and everything in between.

💡 Tips & Strategies​

Share what's working for you. Learn from others' experiences.

🎯 Goals & Accountability​

Share your goals and find accountability partners to keep you on track.

🎉 Wins & Milestones​

Celebrate achievements! Paid off a debt? Hit a savings goal? Share it!

❓ Questions​

No question is too basic. We've all been beginners.

How It Works​

  1. Browse — See what others are discussing
  2. Post — Share your thoughts, questions, or wins
  3. Comment — Join conversations
  4. Upvote — Show appreciation for helpful content

Community Guidelines​

Be Kind — Everyone's at a different stage. No judgment.

Be Helpful — Share what you know. Ask what you don't.

Be Honest — Real experiences help more than theory.

Be Respectful — Disagree? That's fine. Just be civil.

No Financial Advice — Share experiences, not prescriptions. We're not financial advisors.

Privacy in the Community​

What's Visible​

  • Your display name (you choose this)
  • Your posts and comments
  • Badges you've earned

What's NOT Visible​

  • Your real name (unless you choose to share it)
  • Your financial data
  • Your account balances
  • Your transactions

You control what you share. Many people keep their finances completely private while still participating in discussions.

The Colony System​

Colonies are anonymous groups of people with similar financial profiles.

How It Works​

You're automatically matched with others who have similar:

  • Income ranges
  • Net worth brackets
  • Life stages
  • Financial goals

What You See​

  • "Your savings rate is higher than 67% of your colony"
  • "Your debt-to-income is better than average for your group"

Privacy​

  • Completely anonymous
  • No individual data shared
  • Opt-out anytime in Settings

It's like having a benchmark without anyone knowing your actual numbers.

Tips​

Lurking is OK

Not ready to post? No problem. Read, learn, upvote helpful content. Jump in when you're ready.

Be Specific

"How do I budget?" is hard to answer. "I make $4k/month and spend $3.8k — where should I start?" gets better responses.

Celebrate Others

Upvote helpful posts. Comment "congrats!" on wins. Small interactions build community.
