What our community has to say 💬

  • Wollongong Uni Student

    I cannot tell you how helpful and like, life changing, that was for me. I came straight from high school to undergrad to final year and have absolutely no financial knowledge. Everything you said was so easy to understand and supportive. I have felt quite excluded from so much "money" conversation for so long but feel super empowered now. You're an absolute hero and girl boss extraordinaire. I am in awe. I now feel obligated to tell everyone in my life about Mandy Money and force them to learn as well. Thank you thank you thank you so so much.

  • Student, Sacré Coeur

    Money isn't as complicated as I thought! It was really helpful and relevant to learn more about where our money goes when we pay tax and tips on how to spend money effectively.

  • Sabine Partington, Haileybury College

    We use the Mandy curriculum across our entire senior cohort. My students commented on how relevant they found all this new found information and how grateful they are for it ahead of getting jobs hopefully this coming summer. Considering it one of the best resources offered to them in PEX this year

  • Head of Year 11, St Rita's College

    Mandy Money has been excellent! Our students found it to be engaging & relevant content, broking down even the most complex ideas and terms into easy and digestible content. The girls were thrilled that they learnt something in such a fun and dynamic way.
