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.

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.
