In the realm of personal development and financial autonomy, a recent discourse sheds light on the pressing issue within the UK – a tangible 'real poverty' of financial education.
Esteemed financial advocate Martin Lewis, founder of Moneysavingexpert.com, and Russell Winnard of Young Enterprise have voiced their concerns, underscoring the essential need for a robust financial curriculum within our schools. The insights provided during their testimony to the education committee reveal a stark discrepancy in the delivery of financial education across UK schools, a situation that demands immediate attention and action.
At "Planning My Life", founded by Steve Conley, we resonate deeply with the mission of empowering individuals, especially the younger generation, to take control of their lives and finances.

Through innovative AI Life Planner tools and a comprehensive suite of resources, "Planning My Life" offers a personalised approach to financial planning and personal growth, making it both accessible and impactful.
The stark reality presented by Lewis and Winnard mirrors our ethos at "Planning My Life" – that financial education should not be a privilege but a right.
