2024 INTENTIONS

Don’t just manifest your best life. Plan for it.

3,048. That’s the number of complimentary calls we’ve had with women like you in 2023. (Were you one of them? Go you!)

So during a week that’s big for recharging, and even bigger for money resolutions, we can’t stop thinking about the most common questions you asked us this year. Things like, “Am I leaving money on the table?” Or, “What should I be doing with my money right now?” And, “How do I get myself to a more comfortable financial place?”

Because here’s the thing: 90% of women manage their money on their own at some point in their lives. And we believe you should feel good about your money and confident about what you’re doing with it.

That’s why we built Ellevest. We help people like you take your money goals off the resolutions list and into the real world. Look, New Year’s resolutions aren’t inherently bad — but as a society, we tend to put too much stock in them. They can feel all-or-nothing, something associated with either success or failure. We need something in between. Something flexible. Something that supports our growth instead of defining it. Something more like a plan. (Fun fact: Research shows that people with a financial plan have 3x the net worth of those who don't.)

The resources below are meant to help you not only set money intentions, but also make a plan to start them.

So cue the paper horns, the confetti, the delicious cheese plate! (A Norwegian blue cheese will be involved, yes?)

We’ll see you and more of your money questions (er, goals) next year!

The Ellevest Team
