Tried and tested
Hear what others have to say about our budgeting resources:
We’re acutely aware that as our teenage girls are getting older, we need to prepare them for more than just how to spend the small amount of pocket money that they get each week. These materials have enabled us to open up conversations about things like the consequences and dangers of getting into debt, alongside the benefits and rewards of saving for the future.
