“It has given me the confidence to make decisions. After the MABS talk, I restarted tracking my spending more consistently. I opened my own credit union account since starting, and I am no longer afraid of pensions or investing after the talks. Because of the course I will be progressing my learning and knowledge and booking further education and training."- quote from a learner
