THE SLIDING SCALE
My words are inspired by Alexis J. Cunningfolk, Meghan Gilmore, Claire Louise Travers, Ride Free: Fearless Money, Margeaux Feldman. Consider Alexis J. Cunningfolk's "Green Bottle" concept when considering which tier you may fall into as well.

Sliding
Scale System
A sliding scale is used to encourage people to pay according to their available resources. Those with greater financial privilege contribute more, allowing those with less access, to pay according to their means. This allows my business to sustain its services while making accessibility as broad as possible. I will not never question the tier you choose, but I just ask that you think deeply and honestly about how you may answer these questions to decide what you are able to afford at this time.
