Pocket Money For Adults
Money can be tough. We know. We’ve been there.
That’s why we started Pocket Money For Adults.
We want to make money easy for everyone in the UK, especially those who often feel overlooked by traditional financial resources.
You might be wondering about our name. “Pocket Money For Adults.”
It’s more than just a catchy phrase. It’s a subtle reminder of how our financial habits are often formed in our early years.
Research shows that by the age of 7, many of our money behaviours are set in stone.
Pocket money is also something most of us understand from childhood – a simple way to learn about managing money.
We want to bring that simplicity to adult finances.
We also believe that understanding money shouldn’t be intimidating.
It should be as straightforward as “child’s play” when you have the right tools and information.
We’re here to provide those tools and that information, making money management accessible to everyone, regardless of their income or background.
What are our values?
We don’t talk down to you.
We don’t use big words.
We just explain things clearly.
We want to help you feel good about your money.
We believe money is more than just numbers on a screen. It’s about your life, your worries, and your dreams.
We talk about the real stuff: the feelings, the challenges, and those all-important little wins.
We want to build a place where you can learn and feel safe.
No judgment, just simple, practical help.
We understand that not everyone starts with the same advantages, and we’re here to level the playing field.
We’re here to help you make money work for you, no matter how much you earn.
There’s a lot of financial content out there aimed at high-earners, but we’re here for the everyday person, the low-earner, the people who often feel left out of the conversation.
Let’s learn together.
