This week’s money mood: Here for your goals 🎯

I can’t believe 2020 is finally in the home stretch. I know, I know, there’s no magical fast-forward button we’ll hit on New Year’s Eve to get us to 100% normalcy — but 2021 is looking brighter, and I can’t wait.

Here at Ellevest, 2020 was quite a year. The pandemic and the she-session spurred us to press fast-forward on a lot of our plans to help us get more money in the hands of women+. We knew we could help. It was our mission to help. And we’re going to stay on fast-forward as we go into 2021.

Meanwhile: If your 2020 has been one long Blursday the fourtyteenth, I hear that. ICYMI, here’s a rundown of some of the ways you can use the Ellevest membership to help you hit your money and career goals — no matter what they look like going into 2021.

Here for you (always),

Money win of the week

“After graduating college and working years at jobs that barely pay me a living wage, I’m finally now working in a role that pays me well, is something I enjoy doing, and allows me to feel respected, valued, and trusted. I was starting to think this day may never come, but I'm FINALLY going to be able to move out of my parents’ house!”

— Kourtni, an Elle Raiser from Bristol, CT
