Financial Literacy

The Crisis, That’s Costing Us All

What is Financial Literacy — and Why Does It Matter?

Financial literacy is the ability to understand and manage money. It includes basic skills like budgeting, saving, borrowing, and understanding financial products such as loans, credit cards, or superannuation.

Across the UK, Australia, the US, Canada, and New Zealand — millions of people lack this knowledge.

The cost is real: stress, poor decisions, debt, and lost opportunities.

The Global Reality

What Financial Illiteracy Feels Like

  • Living from payslip to payslip
  • Feeling unsure about saving or borrowing
  • Avoiding conversations about money
  • Working a second, and sometimes third job or side hustle, just to "get ahead"
  • This isn’t just a knowledge gap — it’s a confidence gap. And we’re here to close it.

Workplace & community Programs

For Employers & Community Leaders

Teams with strong financial skills are:

  • They're not working that second job or side hustle on your time.
  • They have a plan and can cope financially with life challenges
  • More available, with less time off for illness, stress and poor health.
  • Empowered. They have goals, and they want to work to achieve them.

Want to support your people?
