✅ Your finances need monitoring, just like your snack stash. Set up credit alerts and check your accounts weekly to avoid surprises.

✅ Moving states for tax savings? Do the math first. Dual residency isn’t always the loophole people think it is.

✅ Twinkies may last forever, but financial security requires maintenance. A solid money plan beats a stockpile of snacks (but only slightly).
