FOUNDER STATEMENT: "Hello my name is Sarah and i am the founder of Money Branch. when i started taking a look at student loans and thinking about accommadoation and saving my money for university, i felt so overwhelmed alongside many other students in my position and i have seen many others make mistakes on over spending and not having any disipline over budgeting simply because it's never been something they learnt or had to learn up until this transitioning point in our lives. Back in high-school my friends and i often complained that school was not teaching us the "real things" like what bills and taxes are and how are we going to live financially independant? I mean, would i seriously need to know Pythagoras theorem in my twenties if i wanted to have a career in journalism? Not really. But even though we complained, it's not as if we activley pursued ways of finding this knowledege and when we did it seemed as if there was a bunch of gibberish on our screens which just further unmotivated us. Which is why, starting with this platform, my end-goal is to change the uk's education system and implement finacial literacy into our curriculum from an early age so when it comes to money, we have much more confidence and ease in managing it.
