Be the Boss

Welcome to Week 1!

We’re so glad you’ve chosen to join us and get on top of your money for good.

At Moneycare we know the stress and anxiety that money can cause all of us, no matter how much we have. But we also know that you can take control of your money - and we’re going to show you how.

Over the three weeks we’ll work through what’s important to you, what changes you need to make, and how to turn those good intentions into action. So whether you argue with your partner over paying bills, struggle to save for a rainy day, or you just feel controlled by money, this course will help you change your perspective and be the boss of your money!

Each day there’s a short video, then it’s over to you to complete an Action Plan - your chance to start working on what your money journey is going to look like.

Week one is about starting that important money conversation - unlocking the conversation you have with yourself and giving you real tips to have important conversations with others.

Let’s get started on Week 1 Overview video!
