Learning From People Who Remember Being Beginners
Both Fenton and Maris came to financial education after years in other fields. That perspective matters — they remember what it's like not knowing where to start, feeling overwhelmed by terminology, or making mistakes that seemed obvious in hindsight.
Their teaching style reflects that. Clear explanations, no assuming prior knowledge, and patience when the same question comes up three different ways.
-
Plain Language First
Financial concepts explained like you're having coffee with a friend who happens to know this stuff.
-
Questions Are Normal
Our instructors expect you to ask for clarification. That's literally how learning works.
-
Real Scenarios
Examples drawn from actual situations people face, not abstract textbook cases.
Quick Wins You Can Start Today
Sometimes you just need one good tip. Here are a few things that take minimal effort but make a noticeable difference to how you handle money.
The Two-Day Rule
Before buying anything over fifty dollars, wait two days. You'll be surprised how many purchases suddenly feel less urgent once the initial impulse fades.
Automate One Thing
Pick one savings goal and set up an automatic transfer the day after payday. Even twenty dollars a week adds up, and you won't miss what you don't manually move.
Review Your Subscriptions
Check your bank statement for recurring charges. Most people find at least two or three subscriptions they forgot about or no longer use.
