This week’s money mood: Uncertainty️️

As a money coach here at Ellevest, I’ve talked to a lot of clients lately who feel nervous about the economy and the markets. Many have told me that even though they feel like they know the conventional advice about how to manage their money, they still don’t feel 100% confident about what they should be doing right now.

There is so much outside our control, and uncertainty is uncomfortable. It makes us antsy to do *something* differently — if only we can tweak, adjust, change, or prepare in some way, we’ll feel a little bit more in control.

But here’s the truth: While there are some things you may decide to do a little differently right now — and we’ve got that advice for you below — there are probably no big changes you should be making.

Trust the process. Don’t panic. Rest in the knowledge that you’re making the best decisions you can with the information you can. That’s how you make it through this uncertainty.

You’ve got this,
