The Spending Planners Institute is empowering Australians to help others take financial control

SPENDING is easy but what is more difficult for most people is planning your spending so you can reach your own financial goals – which is something the Spending Planners Institute is trying to change.

The Spending Planners Institute’s David Wright taking clients through their spending plan.

According to Institute Founding Director David Wright, there is not enough education provided about how to effectively manage our money, while working towards our own financial goals.

“School students are taught a lot of different skills in preparation for life but it has always amazed me that they are not taught effective spending planning,” Mr Wright said.
