Fall Money Edition

If you’re anything like us, you wasted no time pulling all your cozy knits out of the closet, dusting off your leather boots, starting your Gilmore Girls rewatch, and thawing out the Mariah Carey jams (too soon? Not for us). Because as fun as summer was — one of the most fun in recent memory — we’re ready for the generous comfort of fall. And, of course, to hit the soft reset button on our finances.

While we expended a ton of economic power this summer (enough to arguably keep the country out of a recession), there’s still lots to plan for in the coming months. Extravagant Halloween costumes. Your daily seasonal latte of choice. Lady Gaga’s Las Vegas residency. You know, the essentials.

But then there are the less-appealing essentials to think about. Like student loan repayment. And dealing with any credit card debt you may have left over from the summer. With the right money moves this fall, however, you can stroll leisurely into the holidays, sans financial stress. On that front, we’ve got you‌ covered. Here are three ways you can prep your finances this season, from our very own financial planners.

From money dates to Birken … stocks

Celebrity divorce attorney Laura Wasser and CEO Sallie Krawcheck share six money tips with Cosmopolitan for women who are getting married, getting divorced, or thinking about doing either.
After a historic sale of her music rights, Katy Perry became one of the richest self-made women in America. Swish, swish.
A new study finds that more than half of young girls want to become homeowners before they turn 30. Um, we’d say they’re off to a good start.
Birkenstock credits the “breakthrough of modern feminism” for its success in its IPO filing. (We’re pro-flat feet ‘round these parts.)
“When girls are able to stay in school, and women are able to stay in the workforce, they shape the investments and policies that make life better for everyone. Or as we like to say at Ellevest: Nothing bad happens when women have more money.” — CEO Sallie Krawcheck at #Goalkeepers2030 last week (in great company, nbd) as world leaders gathered for the 78th UN General Assembly.⁠

You deserve to feel good about your money this fall.
