You're here for tips on leveling up your career, but here's a bonus tip on leveling up your

investments. Check out Public. Public is an investing platform where you can invest in stocks,

options, bonds, ETFs, and crypto all in one place. Public is a modern brokerage and has brought

innovation to aspects of investing that were

dinosaury. I'll give you an example. Public is one of the only brokerages to offer self-directed

investing in bonds, even treasuries, which have historically been sold primarily through a government

website. But with public, you can invest in

treasuries with just a few clicks right from your phone. And public allows you to make fractional

investments in bonds. So before fractional bonds on public, you had to buy government bonds,

starting with a $1,000 investment at a minimum. and if you wanted to invest in any more than that,

you could only invest in $100 increments.

Now you can buy bonds for as little as $100 and for any dollar amount on public.

That's just one example of how public is making it easier to invest,

but there are a ton more, and you can explore them for yourself at public.com

And it makes it really hard to stick with my spending plan. When we're trying

to make progress, life's curve balls often feel like taking one step forward and two steps back.
