Sallie's Opinion

Your End-of-Summer Reading List

 

The days are getting shorter, the leaves are beginning to hint at changing color, and if you’re anything like the team here at Ellevest, you’re breaking out your Diane-Keaton-in-a-romcom wardrobe.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t squeeze out a few extra warm days at the pool, the beach, or on the patio of your favorite seafood spot. And while you’re there, maybe you can revisit some of Ellevest’s recent high-value money advice, timely conversation starters, and yes, relatable memes. Like, why financial infidelity is a very real thing. And an answer to the question, “Does money buy you happiness?”

A tweet from @MichellCClark that says, “‘never quit’ sounds great, but sometimes, you gotta quit. be willing to say, ‘this isn’t what i thought it was,’ or ‘this doesn’t appeal to me anymore.’ remember that you can quit ‘the thing’ without quitting on yourself. remember that persistence and fluidity can coexist.”
