Bring money talk to the group chat

In a recent IG poll, we asked those of you in the Ellevest community if you feel comfortable talking about money with your friends, and 53% of you shared a *full menu* of reasons holding you back. One of the biggies we heard from you was, “I’m worried about making my friends feel bad if we talk about our salaries when we’re not earning the same income.”

We hear you. If divulging your salary makes you uneasy, it’s OK to start with something else. We’re big on taking small steps that add up. And talking about money with other women+, especially our friends who know us best, helps us all do better.

Here are five ways you can kick-start the money convo with your group chat that are meant to feel totally doable.
