The Kitchen Table Beginning
Three university friends—Marcus, Sarah, and James—kept finding themselves in the same weekend conversation: why hadn't anyone taught them how money actually works? After Marcus's overdraft fees hit £200 in one month and Sarah discovered she'd been paying twice what she needed for insurance, they decided to do something about it.
- Started weekend workshops in Marcus's Edinburgh flat
- Created simple guides that actually made sense to regular people
- Helped 50 friends and neighbors save over £15,000 collectively in their first year
- Realized that financial education didn't have to feel like homework
