Hi, I’m Kerry. The inspiration for Moneyquids came from watching my own, young adult children navigate our increasingly complex financial world. My eldest son was particularly instrumental in getting me to finally break ground on this website after stating he ‘doesn’t have a clue about finance stuff’ and thought a website for young people like him would be a great idea.

Having worked as an accountant for many years both commercially and more extensively in the not for profit sector, I thought it would be good to share some of my professional knowledge and life experience with the younger generation.

I recall all too clearly how ignorant and financially oblivious I was at a similar age. As a young twenty-something with no understanding of the impact of compounding interest, I bought my second car on finance at a shockingly high interest rate. I was living abroad at the time in a country with double figure interest rates, scary stuff! Suffice to say, the interest I ended up paying was pretty much the price of the car again!

After studying financial management in my mid-twenties, I have since used compounding interest mostly for my benefit. I hope you will be able to do this too. Hopefully, the topics covered on Moneyquids will help young people confidently navigate the world of finance. Happy reading and best of luck on your financial journey.

If there are other topics you would like to see covered on our website, please do get in touch.
