Lesson #4 : Compounding Interest is the 8th Wonder of the World

Brothers Geo and PJ embark on a journey to change the perceptions of finance.

In Society, Finance is treated like a swear word! 
We overcomplicate it.
We make it boring.
We avoid it.

In school, we learn all about Chronozones, Pythagoras, Trigonometry, and Shakespeare. All topics that although they might be interesting, more often than not they are irrelevant and never used. Yet we neglect topics that every person is sure to encounter in his or her lifetime. Topics like setting up a budget, paying tax, saving and basic financial terminology are swept under the rug. Parents don’t want to talk to their children about money, it’s for Grownups and they chase the kids out of the room. Couples steer away from this topic and even if they do decide to do so, it ends up in a fight. And as friends, we also prefer to stick to more “interesting' topics like the weekend game or the latest make-up range.

We also aim to reach people who might not have the access or ability to a wealth manager and want to empower them to take control of their finances.

Please feel free to engage with us and ask questions or recommend topics you would like us to cover.
