This summer, women didn’t think twice before wielding their power. We didn’t let the name-calling, the shaming, the patronizing stop us — instead, we ignored the haters (and there were many of them) and used our financial power to build the world we want to live in.

So we’re heading into fall feeling freer than ever. But how do we keep post-summer money clarity and holiday season spending from disrupting our momentum?

By making smart money moves, absolutely.

Our very own Ellevest financial planner Victoria Sado has four tips for resetting your finances as you transition to fall. Read on to learn how you can feel good about your summer splurges — and feel good about your fall splurges, too.

“I wish there were more models for people who are doing proper financial planning and still living the type of life I want to live.”

She’ll show you how to spend intentionally — while building the future you want. Start with a complimentary 15-minute call.
