Getting Ahead Stability

The design of Getting Ahead Stability was led by author Philip E. DeVol as a companion app for his book Getting Ahead in a Just-Gettin'-By World.

Getting Ahead identifies two key features of poverty that have to be dealt with to improve lives. These two interlocking features are instability and the lack of resources. We define poverty as the extent to which we do without eleven core resources. So it follows that the solution to poverty is to build resources. Sometimes, however, situations are so unstable that you have to focus on stabilizing your life before you can build resources.

Getting Ahead Stability helps you assess your stability and track the moments that lead to a more stable life.
