I also appreciate Embracing Equity’s encouragement “for individuals to move away from a binary model, embrace the messiness of moving toward economic justice”

• Consider investing less if you…

• are supporting dependents

• have medical expenses not covered by insurance

• have immigration-related expenses

• are an elder with limited financial support

• are an unpaid community organizer

• are a returning individual who has been denied work due to incarceration history

• experience discrimination in hiring or pay level

• are descended from enslaved people or Native American Indians

​

Consider investing more if you…

• have investments, retirement accounts or inherited money

• have access to savings, family money, and resources in times of need

• work part-time or are unemployed by choice

• have a relatively high degree of earning power due to level of education

• regularly travel, engage in recreation activities, or subscribe to arts or sports events

We hope that this provides some structure, guidelines, and a way to ensure access. Money and finances can be difficult to talk about, and it is apart of the process. We are always open to discuss more, and support you in any other way needed! There may be times when we do not have any availability at the range you identify — if this is the case, we will do our best to help you find other resources.
