Changing perceptions of finance
Finance is a topic that’s treated like a swear word, Lets change that perception, it’s too important!
Welcome
In school we learn all about Chronozones, Pythagoras, Trigonometry and Shakespeare. All topics that although they might be interesting , more often than not they are irrelevant and never used. Yet we neglect topics that every person is sure to encounter in his or her lifetime. Topics like setting up a budget, paying tax, saving and basic financial terminology are swept under the carpet. We treat Finance like a swearword! Parents don’t talk to their children about money. It’s for Grownups and they chase the kids out of the room. Couples steer away from this topic and even if they do decide to talk about it, it ends up in a fight. Friends would also prefer to stick to more irrelevant “interesting topics like the weekend game or the new make-up range.
The perception is that it’s: Boring, complex and a topic for ‘One -day’
We want to change that!
