In basketball, a dime is the assist: the pass that makes someone else's shot possible.
Around here, our people are called Dimes. If you're the one your people count on, you've been throwing that pass your whole life. For parents. For siblings. For chosen family. For the younger you who needed someone to be steady, so you became her.
your dime role
Somewhere in all that carrying, you learned a reflex: your particular way of holding the money and everyone at once. Nobody taught it to you on purpose. It just became how you do things. That reflex is your Dime Role.
what this is for
Ever wonder why you overgive, over-save, over-work, or avoid your numbers altogether? This puts a name on it: a role you learned by being the one everyone counts on. Naming it takes the unspoken weight off. It gives you the words to talk about money with the people it involves, from family to partner to professionals. And it shows how that same reflex can fund the life, the people, and the causes you care about.
what to expect
Twelve questions. No numbers, no math, no judgment. Whatever we find, it helped you reach this point. And what you do with it next is up to you.

ONE LAST THING
Money moves in seasons, and knowing yours changes what your role looks like right now. Which is closest?
Not scored, not graded. Just you locating yourself in this moment.
LAST STEP, AND IT'S OPTIONAL
Help us map the Dimes.
We've heard it over and over: being a Dime can get lonely. We're often overlooked and undervalued, carrying what nobody counts. We want to help relieve that, and it starts with a real picture. How many of us are out here. What we're carrying. Where we're stuck, and what we're building. Every answer below helps build the State of the Dimes, so New Dimes can serve all of us better.
One optional minute, every question optional: answer what you like, leave the rest blank. Saved without your name or email attached, reported only in aggregate, never shown with your result.
First: you're a Dime. The breadwinner, the one who figured it out without a playbook, the one whose money is also infrastructure for people you love. Maybe still building, maybe sitting on more than enough and unsure what it's for. That's not your role. That's the condition, and everyone here shares it.
Your role is your reflex: the way YOU learned to carry it. It was learned, which means it once worked, which means it deserves respect before it gets examined. It also means it can be kept, widened, or aimed somewhere new. Your call, your pace.

What it protects
One question to sit with
Where this becomes a superpower
What's next: the Stability Snapshot.
what it is
A recurring financial check-in, built for first-gen breadwinners. About fifteen minutes. No logging into accounts; estimates are welcome and marked so you can check them later.
what you take stock of
What comes in. What goes out. What you own and owe. Who you care for, and who cares for you. What protection you have in place.
what you get
Your runway, as three numbers. How long your money holds for you alone, for the people you support, and for everyone at once.
Agreed vs. assumed. A clear read on which family commitments were actually said out loud, and which just started one day.
A one-page summary for your wealth team. Facts only. Hand it to a planner, tax pro, or attorney and skip explaining your whole situation from scratch.
how it's used
You pick your season (Rebuild, Reinforce, or Realize) and the Snapshot points you to the questions worth asking next. Three times a year, alone or alongside other Dimes. Each one stacks on the last, so you can see what actually changed.
The Dime Roles quiz is for reflection and education, not financial advice. No role is a diagnosis, a limit, or a destiny. Learned things can be unlearned, kept, or aimed somewhere new. Your call, your pace.
