National Pinkfix Day – May 17, 2024

National Pinkfix Day is observed each year on May 17 in the United States. The day aims to help people make informed decisions about their personal finances, especially women. We think that managing personal finances can be incredibly complex. However, you can take control of your career and finances with some guidance from an expert and your own willingness to learn more about how you can spend your money wisely. For women, it is especially important to be in charge of their own money and be financially independent. National Pinkfix Day helps you take control of your family, work, and even the community.

History of National Pinkfix Day

National Pinkfix Day was started in 2018 by blogger Jessica Weaver. The conception of the term ‘Pinkfix’ began when Weaver updated her blog’s logo to blank and pink and encouraged her audience to go to her website to “get [their] pink fix” for the day, referring to the knowledge they would gain about money and life in general. After adding #pinkfix to everything, Weaver became known as the pink advisor, always able to help people gain insight about almost every area of a woman’s life that needs confidence, stability, and net worth. This day was started to help women become aware of not just their money, but also the opportunities that can help make their lives significantly better. National Pinkfix Day allows women to be honest about their money matters including inheritance, insurance, and loans. Being honest about your financial status can help you make more informed decisions. National Pinkfix Day helps you achieve the lasting transformation that you might be looking for!

Aside from finances, National Pinkfix Day also serves as a reset button. It presents you with the opportunity to reset your money, mind, life, and goals. The day also challenges you to try something new, get out of your comfort zone, and take control of your life. When you are confident in yourself and surrounded by those who believe in you, no challenge seems insurmountable!

Pinkfix does not offer a quick fix. A quick fix might seem appealing but in the long run, it does us no good. You may think of a quick fix as a band-aid that has been hurriedly applied to a deep gash! On the contrary, National Pinkfix Day offers a pink fix! It is all about the lasting change that will make an impact and provide you with the transformation in your life that you deserve. It all starts with taking good care of your money! So get your girlfriends together and help each other find the best possible ways to grow financially.
