Slow food. Slow fashion. Slow living.

When you see the word “slow” in front of most words, you think: Sustainable. High quality. Intentional.

And that’s the kind of approach we take to investing and financial planning.

We know there are a lot of people trying to sell you get-rich-quick schemes. From crypto to penny stocks to MLMs, there’s always some new risky finance fad around the corner, promising you quick money and fast riches. For most people, they simply don’t work — and they can even totally bankrupt you.

We believe the most reliable strategy for building wealth for the future while living your best life now is two-pronged: slow, consistent investing, and having a financial planner who really understands you and your goals at your side.

We know it’s not sexy or trendy or fast. Which is why most financial influencers don’t like it — because it won’t give them the clicks and views that they profit from.

But history is on the side of the turtle, not the hare. We know, for example, that the S&P 500 has gained about 10.5% annually since its introduction in 1957. We know that people with a financial plan have 2.7x the net worth of those who don't. And financial plans don’t happen overnight.

The evidence shows: Slow finance works. Time is an important ingredient in the recipe for wealth.

But we could all use a little extra time. That’s why, when you asked us for more time to pay for your financial planning packages, we created an answer. Today, Ellevest clients can choose to pay for financial planning packages over three months instead of all at once. Three easy payments — no interest, no fees.

So if you’ve been waiting for the right time to book that package — this is it. Start by scheduling a complimentary call with an Ellevest financial planner today.

NEW: Pay for packages at a slower pace

You asked for a more accessible payment option. We’re thrilled to announce it’s here.
