💸 Money Cheat Sheet: New Year’s Intentions

This week’s money mood: New Year’s intentions

Happy New Year’s Eve Eve!

Given that you’re a part of the Ellevest community, I can guess two things about you: one, that you’re motivated to reach for better things. And two, that you know how important it is to balance goals with self-kindness.

New Year’s resolutions aren’t inherently bad — but as a society, we tend to put too much stock in them. They can feel all-or-nothing, something associated with either success or failure. We need something in between, yes? Something flexible. Something that supports our growth instead of defining it. Something more like New Year’s intentions.

The resources below are meant to help you not only set money and career intentions, but also make a plan to start them.

See you next year!

Money intention: Start investing

Investing has historically been a powerful tool for building wealth, and doing it as early as you can really does matter. Here’s our best advice on where to start.

MAKE YOUR MOVE >

Big intention: Take care of Future You

Ramping up your retirement planning and investing might be even easier than finding a work / life balance and organizing all the things. Here’s how to dive in.

DREAM ON >

Intention: Looking forward, together

We don’t know what’s next for women+ in 2022. But we do know we’ll keep fighting. Fighting to grow our companies, fighting to drive change, fighting to keep going. Here are some things we can all do in the coming year — and every year.
