We know this is the most financially stressful time of the year. In December you’re spending all your bread on gifts for the fam and friends, and suddenly your bank account is in shambles. So naturally one of your New Year’s resolutions is to get your finances on track and of course, Dustin the (kinda-sorta) money expert has you covered. I mean, his clear frames make him look pretty damn smart.

And it all starts with record keeping—especially if you’re a freelancer without a traditional 9-5 job. Knowing where everything goes down to the penny and hoarding all your receipts will make it easier to Uncle Sam once dreadful tax season arrives. Oh, and start handling all your tax documents as soon as January hits so you’re not running around in April or begging for an extension.

An even simpler tip is to just ask your friends and family around you. If you’re the friend who doesn’t know how to make money stretch, there’s likely someone in your circle who still has the first dollar they ever made. Ask them who they bank with, how they operate within their bank accounts, which apps they use to keep them in line. They’ll probably share the wealth and before you know it you’ll have someone to hold you accountable.

As Dustin says, “New year, New green.”

P.S. Don’t ask us where we got the money counter from either…

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
