Hours of joyful, highly anticipated fun

Hi, Summer You.

You’re likely tapped into that version of you whose financial habits fall somewhere in between Vacation You and Regular You. It’s not quite anything goes, but it does make more frequent allowances than usual (like increasing your croissant budget).

Summer You wants to have an ideal summer. To mix highly anticipated plans like getaways and Michelin reservations with moments no one could have planned. Why not rent the Vespa? Yes, let’s move along to a karaoke bar. Of course I’ll sign up for your local flower CSA.

Deep down, Summer You knows that every season comes with tradeoffs big and small. And those tradeoffs have a financial impact — it’s just harder to visualize what that is with heart-shaped sunglasses on.

Our certified financial planners can help. Spend some time chatting with them, learning how to plan confidently, then spend the rest of your summer knowing — not hoping — that you’re on track.

Because Fall You (and every other You) wants to have the most fun, too.

— The Ellevest Team
