Separating money fact and fiction every fortnight
Money Fact
Happiness starts at £34,000
A July 2022 Institute of Economic Affairs survey found that most in the UK don’t want to be ‘Rich’. Just 19% think it’s important. In fact, 2020 ONS and Happy Planet Index researchers calculated that happiness starts at circa £34,000.
Money Fiction
“It’s rude to talk about money”
2020 research found that many in the UK swerve money chats due to shame (18%) and because “it’s not how I was brought up” (15%). This needs to be addressed yesterday … it’s not like money’s a factor in almost every life decision, is it?
Money Means
Money isn’t something to shy away from. When we define what it means to us we can plan money around life … not the other way around. That’s worth talking about.
At Money Means, we want to unlock money know-how so you can get ahead. We’ll help with pensions, investments, savings, insurance, emergency funds and budgeting. We’ll help you live for today and plan for tomorrow. It’s very possible … promise.
Heroes’ stories
We said that most don’t lust after wealth and Money Means Heroes Gaby and Laura double down on that in forthcoming episodes our brand new podcast.
As Gaby says: “It all comes back to freedom and happiness. It’s not about having flashy cars.”
