Are You Really Behind Financially, or Is the System Rigged?
It’s a statement that might feel both jarring and deeply relieving. If you’ve ever looked at your savings, investments, or retirement prep and thought, “I’m falling behind,” take a breath—and let that notion go.
Most of us weren’t set up to win. Financial systems—from schooling to lending to investing—were designed for the concentration of wealth among the few. If your career, identity, or life doesn’t fit neatly into the category of the system's most favored, the tools and advice you’ve seen probably don’t fit either.
But here’s the important part: that doesn’t mean you're failing. It means we have to write a new playbook, one that let's us understand, undermine, dismantle and rebuild.
A system out of sync with your reality
Nearly 60% of Americans report living paycheck to paycheck—regardless of income level. That’s not a moral failing; it’s a structural one.
Women and BIPOC individuals face systemic barriers like pay gaps, lack of tailored advice, and discriminatory lending practices that traditional financial planning often ignores.
Meanwhile, many of the loudest financial experts still pitch one-size-fits-all advice, like elaborate budgets that don't account for fluctuating income, caregiving costs, or mental load.
If the “getting ahead” you’re chasing was defined by a system that wasn’t built for you, it’s time to redefine what success looks and feels like.
What is within your control
Here’s the good news: your financial path can be designed around your reality—your income cycles, your identity, your dreams.
That’s what Equip Advisory is built for. A place where your financial journey isn’t judged by someone else’s standard—it’s co-created, pragmatic, and deeply human.
What we prioritize:
Realistic, shame-free strategies that account for the uneven terrain you’re walking.
Tools that embrace real life—not rigid budgets, but
adaptable guardrails.Support that sticks, made for your context.
