SUMMER PLANS

Checking Off Money

Summer should be all about silly beverages, little treats, and impromptu PTO requests for vacations to far-flung tropical locales. But if you’ve been having a little trouble focusing on leisure, we’re right there with you.

That’s because the headlines haven’t exactly been a pleasant beach read. The Supreme Court has been working hard this summer to once again legalize discrimination against LGBTQIA+ folks, dismantle affirmative action programs (which have been key for the fight for equality), and cancel Biden’s student loan debt relief plan. Maybe some members of SCOTUS could use a vacation … a long one.

These rollbacks to progress feel overwhelming — and, on an individual level, they have some anxiety-inducing implications for your life, your wallet, and your future. There’s no better time than now to focus on getting your money right — because money is not just money. Money is power. Money is having control over your own life. Money is supporting the causes and people you care about. Money keeps you prepared for what’s to come — so you can enjoy life now.

As always, we're here to do what we do best, help you take control of your financial future. (Little treats and all.)

— The Ellevest Team

 

☕ Guilt-free money moves from women over 50

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT STUDENT LOANS

The Supreme Court has struck down the Biden-Harris administration’s student debt relief plan. This disappointing (depressing, disheartening … we could go on) decision denies 43 million borrowers from receiving up to $20,000 in federal relief for student loans.
