Hi family, we just want to thank every single one of you for your continued support. To everyone who watched, shared, and engaged with our latest video we truly appreciate you.

As you already know, our goal isn’t just to educate and provide information. We also keep it real. No matter where you travel in the world, it’s important to stay aware and alert. Discrimination exists everywhere, but there are places where you may need to be even more cautious. At the same time, we understand that every person’s experience will be different.

We’re grateful that our story resonated with so many of you. And to those who were brave enough to share your own experiences even when they weren’t positive we see you and appreciate your honesty. These conversations matter.

We may never fully understand why people are judged or treated differently because of their skin color. Regardless of race, we want to see everyone grow and thrive. While we can’t control everything, we can choose to lead with kindness, awareness, and respect.

Don’t let anyone take away your desire to travel and experience the world. Go where you feel welcomed, valued, and respected.

🙏 A Huge Thank You to Everyone Who Has Supported Beyond the Paycheck!

We just want to take a moment to say THANK YOU. Every single purchase means everything to us and it reminds us why we put this together in the first place.

Whether you're someone who is getting close to retirement and realizing you may not have as much saved as you hoped, or you're starting early and want to make sure you have an additional source of income outside of your job this book was written with YOU in mind.

The reality is, not everyone has a pension waiting for them. Social Security alone isn't built to carry you through retirement the way it once did for previous generations. A lot of people are out here trying to figure out how to build something extra and there's no shame in that. That's actually the smartest thing you can do right now.

Beyond the Paycheck: Build Your Financial Future with Dividend Income was created to give you a simple, clear starting point:

✅ Understanding your reason for investing
✅ Knowing your financial number
✅ Learning what account options are available to you
✅ Breaking down what an ETF is, what an index fund is, and more
All in everyday language. This is your guide. Something you can always come back to.

📣 If you've recently purchased the e-book and haven't left a review yet please take a moment to share your thoughts. Reviews help us grow, help more people find this information, and let others know this is a resource worth having.

And if you know someone who could use this a friend, a family member, a coworker who has been thinking about investing but doesn't know where to begin share the link. Let's make sure the right people have access to this information.

We're all building together. Let's go! 💪

Civitavecchia, Italy — We Did Not Have a Good Experience Here

We want to be honest with you: our spirits did not feel welcome in this city, and we need to talk about it.

A few days ago we posted that we would be visiting a town outside of Rome called Civitavecchia. This is an important city to know about if you’re planning a cruise, as it’s the main port that serves Rome. We arrived yesterday, and unfortunately our experience has been deeply uncomfortable.

As Black travelers with over 25 years of combined travel experience, we are no strangers to receiving stares it happens all over the world. But the looks we received here, from both adults and children, were different. They were unsettling in a way we haven’t experienced before.

Things got worse at a local restaurant. Before sitting down, we confirmed the menu prices something we always do. However, when the bill arrived, we were charged an extra 10% on each individual item every meal and every drink charged separately, not a single 10% service fee on the total. When we looked into it, this charge appeared to apply specifically to us as foreigners, and we strongly felt it was because we are Black. Then as we were walking back to the hotel a group of people said ‘Africans’.

We are not making assumptions. We are speaking from decades of international travel. If you are a Black traveler planning to pass through Civitavecchia to board a cruise, please be cautious and aware.

We still have three more days here. At this point, we’ve located the nearest grocery store and will mostly be eating snacks there, because the discomfort we feel on every level is real.

Stay safe out there, everyone. 🙏🏾​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
