Young Adults (18 – 30)

The Be Money Savvy Workshop was an excellent experience for me. I’m a HR professional, just starting out in my career.

I registered for this training because I wanted to make wise financial decisions at a young age. This is the “defining decade,” and I wanted to make the most out of it.

The three main takeaways from this training were eye-opening for me. Firstly, I realised that if I am intentional and focused, I can only win with money. Once equipped with the right tools, wealth becomes my birthright.

Secondly, I learned that my money story is influenced by my past, environment, and relationships. It’s crucial to recognise the archetypes I have formed over the years, unlearn any negative patterns, and develop a better money mindset.

Lastly, I understood the importance of measuring my goals. I cannot achieve what I cannot measure. It’s essential for me to have a clear understanding of what I want and take the necessary steps to get there.

I highly recommend this training to all young adults who are keen to get right with money. Financial education is something everyone needs in order to thrive.

One quote that truly inspired me was “Wealth is my birthright.” It resonated with me and motivated me to strive for financial success. I appreciate the work Profit Acumen is doing.

I enjoyed this training. Building a strong financial foundation for a solid financial future was my favourite section. I loved how it focused on the foundation to a successful future. You can be ready to invest and have the money to do it, but it’s easy to get lost in what you’re doing. Setting goals for your financial future and knowing what you want is helpful and gives a strong sense of direction.

Learning about the archetypes and understanding what negative attitudes we may have towards money gave good examples of the financial archetypes we should aspire to be, and it helped me visualise who I want to be when it came to money.

It was good to get a breakdown on the different investments and how to assess which ones are best suited for me. It has helped me create a step-by-step plan of how I want to grow financially. I know where to start and why I’m doing what I’m doing. So currently, I’m putting a lot of attention into setting my financial goals, making sure they’re SMART, outlining my savings, and knowing what exactly I’m saving for.

The training met my expectations; I learned a lot. The money coach did a good job with engagement—asking us in every moment to give our thoughts on what we’ve covered. I recommend this training for many more young adults because it’s a good way to start and map out your future when it comes to money.

This training opened my eyes to the importance of the small steps to reaching my bigger and long-term goals.

Part 2—on having a better understanding of my relationship with money, my dominating money archetype, and how they affect my finances—made me realise the damage that my attitude towards money and wealth has had on the state of my current financial status. I am now working on having an abundance mindset when it comes to money, which is contrary to the mentality I was brought up with. Knowing that this is reversible has made me more optimistic and smarter when it comes to my money.

It is extremely vital to have a better understanding of the investment options that we have, especially as young people—how to have money grow on its own and eventually set yourself up for financial freedom.

Being in my early 20s, this is the time to experiment with several income streams and take as many calculated risks, while still planning on the smaller steps that will eventually land me to my bigger life goals. Where I invest my money could also be a game changer.

Yes, the training met and exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it. You’ll be surprised to have your mind opened up to understanding money better—and more importantly, to break those barriers that are hindering you from growing.

The training had a profound impact on my understanding of personal finance and money management. It covered comprehensive topics such as budgeting, investments, and financial planning—providing me with a nuanced perspective on handling various aspects of my financial life. The practical examples and case studies shared during the training allowed me to apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios, enhancing my ability to make informed decisions.

Specifically, I now have a clearer grasp of creating and maintaining a realistic budget tailored to my financial goals. The discussions on investments elucidated the intricacies of different financial instruments, enabling me to approach investment decisions with greater confidence. Moreover, the insights gained on financial planning have equipped me to set achievable long-term goals and create a roadmap for financial success.

Overall, the training has been instrumental in empowering me with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the complexities of personal finance, contributing to a more secure and informed approach to money management.

I would highly recommend this Financial Literacy Training to a friend or colleague. The practical knowledge gained is beneficial for making informed financial decisions, making it a worthwhile experience to share.

This training was so interesting and beneficial. What I found valuable was that just because we are students doesn’t mean that we can’t start earning sources of income. We can start building towards financial freedom now. That was such an eye opener.

I also learnt that obtaining financial freedom is a mindset. It’s something that should be pursued actively instead of being put in the backdoor of the mind. Elements such as one’s background and financial status shouldn’t be a limiting factor. Anyone can obtain financial freedom.

I got to understand that we shouldn’t put all our eggs in one basket and that we should invest in multiple credible assets.

It’s opened my mind to the world of finance immensely and has encouraged me to actually start investing in my future instead of wasting money in the present.

Oh yes, it exceeded my expectations immensely and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

This is a very important topic that not many people are literate in. It can save them from making many mistakes.

I am so grateful to Profit Acumen for helping the young adults to understand the money world.

The Be Money Savvy Workshop was an excellent experience for me.

The aspect of financial goals was what I found most valuable. Simply understanding how important it is to set financial goals—as well as how to act on them—is invaluable. Everyone wants to make money, but people underestimate the difficulty it takes. Just knowing how to set SMART goals has made the prospect of getting money less daunting and has inspired me to be more goal-oriented in all aspects of my life.

Learning how to develop a wealth-attraction mindset, as well as why it matters, was very insightful. This is a very underrated skill which continues to have a lasting impact on me to this day.

Furthermore, the strategies that were given for growing income, as well as being educated on the investor lifecycle, have deeply impacted me. The training has showed me how I lacked the fundamentals of money management. Without it, I would have stumbled and fallen in my journey. It has given me a greater understanding of these matters. This training will probably affect me for the rest of my life.

It exceeded my expectations. I had thought we would get the same spiel of only saving and being risk-averse, but learning the intricacies of money through topics such as the money archetypes and building diverse investment portfolios was eye-opening.

I would recommend it to my friends very readily. The skills taught through this training are precious and I have no doubt timeless. The younger people are introduced, the better—as it prevents us from making irrational mistakes with money when we do start earning income.

A big thank you to Profit Acumen.
