Hi, I'm Yara Mensah

I'm a creator, author, and speaker teaching 1.2 million people like you about making money work for them.

Money is not a personality trait

I was eleven when I first read a bank's letter. They weren't in English, they were in finance. Then I taught secondary math for nine years and watched sixteen-year-olds leave school able to factorize a quadratic and unable to read a payslip. It is a subject, and nobody taught it to you.

The whole story

What your payslip is telling you

Tax lawyer Mei-Ling Chen goes down a payslip line by line — tax code, national insurance, salary sacrifice — and explains which parts of it you can actually change.

The money talk

Family therapist Daniel Kimathi on why couples argue about money when the money is fine, how to open the conversation, and what to do when you earn very different amounts.

Fix, track, or wait

Mortgage broker Fatima Zahra Benali on fixed versus tracker, what the arrangement fee is actually buying, and how to compare two offers that look identical.

Index funds, explained once

Former fund manager Rahul Iyer on what an index fund actually holds, why fees compound in the wrong direction, and what he does with his own money now.

What a pension actually is

Pensions actuary Ingrid Halvorsen explains what you already own without realizing, what your employer is putting in, and the one number on the statement that matters.
