About Underearners Anonymous

Underearners Anonymous holds free, anonymous meetings for people whose relationship with work and money is causing them harm. It covers earning below your means, undercharging, and chronic putting-off, rather than debt on its own.

It is a twelve-step fellowship, and meetings focus on practical patterns: what you took on, what you charged, what you avoided. Members often work with an action plan rather than only sharing how the week went.

The meetings you can join from the UK run mostly online through the week. Some people attend UA alongside Debtors Anonymous, which covers the debt side of the same picture.

To find a meeting, see the list below.

Common questions

Are UA meetings free?

Yes. All Underearners Anonymous (UA) meetings are free to attend. There are no membership fees, no waiting lists, and no referrals required. Some groups pass a basket for voluntary contributions toward room hire costs, but this is entirely optional.

Do I have to speak at my first meeting?

No. You can come and listen without saying anything. Nobody will call on you, and most people find it easier to sit quietly and take things in at first. If you want to say your name you can, but there is no expectation.

Is UA religious?

The programme references a higher power, which each member defines for themselves. Many members are not religious, and atheists and agnostics are common in the rooms. The spiritual aspect is about seeking help outside of yourself, not about any particular religion.

What happens at UA meetings?

Someone chairs the meeting, reads a short opening, and members share from their own experience. You will not be called on or expected to take part. Meetings usually last about an hour.
