What’s the antidote to these costly issues? CLARITY. ✨ Truly understanding where your money is going, the terms you've agreed to, and the opportunities available is the foundation for making confident financial decisions. #FinancialClarity #KnowYourMoney 🧵 7/8

young white woman with brown hair in a messy bun, brown eyes, and big toothy grin stands in a lobby of a corporate building holding a post-it note that says "first job?" that has a sticker that says GOALS on it, and shiny doodad flower thing, there is a logo for SkillZilla, math sign doodles, a random cat cutout, and text that reads "Navigating Payroll Deductions"

💰 Gross Pay = What you thought you made
💸 Net Pay = What actually hits your bank
📉 Deductions: FICA, Fed/State Tax, Other (health insurance, 401k, etc)
