In this episode I speak about Personal finances and the importance of being financially literate - how getting to know more about how the financial system can help us start living a better life. We also discuss how personal finance literacy is much more than just cutting expenses and saving for the future and share tools to help you sustain your plan in the long term.

Episode 3 - Achieve more by budgeting

Welcome to the Canny Life, a financial education podcast to support the journey of women, couples and families who want to achieve financial wellbeing and wealth. This is also a podcast for those tired of trying to understand why finances need to be so complicated and want a jargon-free, simple way of learning! This project came to life after the frustrations of a normal couple with the financial system and how they sorted their lives through proper financial education to be back on the path of licit wealth! During their journey, they realised most of the people don’t receive proper financial education throughout their lives, yet everyone is still pushed to take complex financial decisions on an everyday basis. Most people are either self-learners on this lonely journey or, when they receive any form of advice it mainly comes from relatives and friends who don’t know themselves or, even worse, from companies and advisors who have provided biased information! Hardly enough for everyone, women are yet to be at a wider disadvantage, as most of the ‘gender-neutral’ information is handled by men! Our intention is to speak in a simple language so we can support your learning and perhaps inspire you to do your best effort to achieve your dreams.
