http://www.underearnersanonymous.org

While the most visible consequence is the inability to provide for one’s needs, including future needs, underearning is also about the inability to fully acknowledge and express our capabilities and competencies. It is about underachieving, or under-being, no matter how much money we make.

what people say
"I come to the Castro Country Club for so many reasons. Obviously for meetings, but more than that, it’s about making connections and building relationships … If I’m feeling lonely or isolated, I can walk into the Castro Country Club and run into 5 or 6 people that I know and catch up with them… They are going to know me even if we don’t know each other because we have that common experience… The first time I showed up, I immediately felt at home.”
"I’m not part of a 12-step group… but I still wanted a relationship with people in recovery…. Sometimes I’m able to encourage young people to come in because I’ve been where they’ve been."
