Make Your Money Matter Michigan

07/07/2026

One of the best investments you'll ever make isn't in your home, your car, or even your retirement...

It's in yourself.

Whether you're looking for your first job, changing careers, returning to the workforce, or simply ready for your next opportunity, having someone who knows how to tell your story can make all the difference.

This week we're excited to introduce The Resume Rescue, a Michigan business dedicated to helping job seekers gain confidence through professional resume writing, interview preparation, and job search assistance.

As part of Summer Wisdom Week, Resume Rescue is offering an exclusive discount to the Make Your Money Matter community.

Because sometimes the best advice isn't just something you hear...

It's taking the first step toward the future you deserve.

Summer isn't just for vacations.
It's also a great time to reflect on the lessons that guide us.

This week, we're sharing wisdom from the consultants, advisors, agencies, and professionals in the Make Your Money Matter Michigan community.

What's the best piece of advice you've ever received that still influences how you live your life today?

Sometimes the right advice comes at exactly the right time.

One of my favorite parts of this summer campaign is discovering businesses I never knew existed.

Have you ever heard of a company that helps you create craft cocktails using dried fruits, spices, and natural ingredients?

I hadn't either.

Meet InBooze, a woman-owned Michigan business based in Grandville that takes cocktail hour to a whole new level.

Their handcrafted infusion kits make it easy to create beautiful drinks at home, whether you're planning a backyard gathering, a picnic with friends, a date night, or simply relaxing on the patio after a long day.

What I love most is that this is exactly the kind of business that makes Michigan special.

A creative entrepreneur saw an idea, took a chance, and built something completely unique.

And now she's sharing it with customers across Michigan and beyond.

As part of Picnic Michigan Week, InBooze is offering:

🍹 20% off any InBooze Cocktail Kit
OR
🍹 15% off any in-store purchase of $20+

Offer expires September 1, 2026.

Visit them online at InBooze.com or stop by their Grandville shop.

Because sometimes making your money matter means discovering something you never knew existed.

When was the last time you went on a picnic?
Not a restaurant patio.
Not takeout eaten in the car.
A meal where you unplugged and sat in nature.

Somewhere along the way, many of us traded picnics for convenience. We became a society of drive-thrus, delivery apps, and meals squeezed between appointments.

This week, we're inviting you to slow down.

Pick up a sandwich from a local shop, like Like Sister Pie, or some BBQ from Cornbread Restaurant & Bar.

Grab a sweet treat from Heavenly Pound Cake or Good Cakes and Bakes

Bring along your favorite sippy drink from Coffee & Bark - Berkley, or if you are feeling extra special, how about a mocktail drink mix from InBooze.

Then find a park, a spot near a lake, your backyard, or a quiet corner of your community and enjoy it all.

Whether you're a busy parent, a couple looking for a new date idea, or someone who simply enjoys their own company, a picnic is a reminder that some of life's best moments don't require reservations.

Just a little time.

This is a great interview with Black Stone Bookstore and Cultural Center CoFounder Carlos Franklin.

He and Kip Johnson started this endeavor as a simple idea between two Black men who love their community.

They had one clear intention, to create a space in Ypsilanti, where Black stories, Black history and Black imagination could stand front and center … not tucked away, not treated like a niche … centered the way they deserved to be.

Blackstone Bookstore and Cultural Center in Ypsilanti was establish...
