Why we’re marking Financial Wellness Day

 

A recent Ellevest study found that stress about our finances is literally making us sick. In fact, nearly half of women (49%) say their mental and emotional health has suffered — and nearly 40% have become physically ill — from money stress.

Practicing financial wellness is a solution to the stress that money causes. Yet women rank financial health as the least important kind.

That’s why we’re recognizing today as the first-ever Financial Wellness Day — yes, we made it a *thing.*

Want to join us? We just launched our brand-new How to Practice Financial Wellness and Feel Good About Money workshop. The first one is this Friday.

And here’s the best part: Between now and October 20, anyone can sign up for any upcoming date *for free* — because financial wellness is key to women+ living a full life.

During the workshop, an Ellevest money coach will give you all the info and tools (read: spreadsheets, journaling prompts, etc) you need to start practicing financial wellness, and they’ll help you start breaking down money taboos and gain the confidence you need to succeed financially.

More than ever, this is the perfect moment (aside from, well, yesterday) to finally make the time and commit to a financial wellness practice — no matter where you’re starting from.

Click below to sign up. Bring your friends. Make it a get together. When women+ prioritize their financial wellness together … now there’s a reason to celebrate.

Whether you’re in the getting-to-know-each-other stage or living out a dreamy retirement together, talking about money can make you both happier. So we had to ask, is money a source of stress or strength in your relationship? Here’s what you said:

STRESS  34%

Financial stress: Women+’s saboteur

We surveyed people across the US about how they’re thinking about financial wellness, money, investing, and their overall well-being. Here’s what we heard.⁠

Calling all corporations 📢! ASOS has introduced paid leave for staff undergoing cancer treatments or experiencing menopause, fertility treatment, or pregnancy loss. File under: things that attract (and keep) talent.

A new study finds a growing number of people without a bachelor's degree are now out-earning those with one.

Some serious “let’s get the day started” motivation sung a capella.

This Promotional Offer cannot be applied to an annual or existing Ellevest membership service, and is only available to the first 500 eligible new Ellevest membership clients who redeem it before the Promotional Period ends. This Promotional Offer is not valid in conjunction and cannot be combined with any other offers or promotions. Membership clients who enroll with promo code “DOWELL” before the end of the Promotional Period will pay no Ellevest Membership fee for the first month of their membership period, starting on the date the membership agreement is acknowledged (the “Effective Date”).

Membership clients who enroll with promo code “DOWELL” and make an initial deposit of $1 or more to a non-retirement investment account within the Promotional Period will receive $20 added to their Ellevest investment account. Ellevest’s processing time for depositing $20 into a client’s Ellevest account may be up to 90 days after the Promotional Period ends. Ellevest reserves the right to refuse to award you the Promotional offer if it determines, in its sole discretion, that the promotion was claimed under wrongful or fraudulent circumstances, that your participation is against the spirit of the program, that making payment would constitute a violation of your Ellevest Membership Terms and Conditions Agreement or applicable federal or state law, or that incomplete or inaccurate information was provided. Ellevest reserves the right to end or modify any promotion at any time.
Ellevest Membership fees are as follows: Ellevest Essential is $1 per month, Ellevest Plus is $5 per month, and Ellevest Executive is $9 per month.

You may not receive the entire recommended portfolio until your account balance meets the respective portfolio minimum. Ellevest will not rebalance a portfolio until it meets the respective account balance minimum necessary to generate the required shares. This minimum is a function of portfolio allocation and the share price of individual holdings, which will vary.
