The Money Blog
Money, financial wellbeing and the agency to shape your future.
Financial wellbeing is about more than how much you earn, save or invest. It’s about understanding your financial life — and having the knowledge, confidence and agency to make informed choices about what happens next.
Here I explore money from different angles: financial literacy and investing, behaviour and psychology, confidence and decision-making, the systems and circumstances that shape our financial lives, and what all of this means for our lives now and in the future.
You’ll find my writing, research, practical ideas and conversations from podcasts I’ve been invited to join — all exploring how a better understanding of money can give us greater agency over our choices, our opportunities and our future.
