Financial Education Made Easy
What we are about
This site provides basic, unbiased financial education, cradle-to-grave. We exist because innocent individuals cannot be expected to distinguish good from bad in the flood of purported financial advice available to them.
Where you will find this site very different from most others is in its emphasis on basic principles. Other sites teach you the characteristics of financial products but leave you ill-equipped to choose between them.
Our message
Good financial habits are not difficult. They are only made to seem so by those with a vested interest in confusion. Whatever your level of knowledge, if you work through the lessons of this site:
- you will be able to manage your own affairs, and
- you will understand the need for good advice and will be able to look for it, and
- you will be able to recognise biased advice and reject it
