If you’ve ever felt like your finances are slipping out of control, you’re not alone. With soaring costs and stagnant wages, more Scots than ever are struggling to make ends meet.
But here’s the truth: millions of pounds are being left on the table every year because people don’t know how to make their money work for them. With evidence that UK households miss out on approximately £23 billion annually by not claiming entitlements. That’s around 8.4 million people losing an average of £2,700 each year.
That’s where Grow Your Money Live, coming to Glasgow next week- on Tuesday, January 21st, 2025, steps in to change the game.
Hosted by Tynah Matembe, an award-winning money coach and founder of MoneyMatiX, this three-hour event at the Social Hub promises to arm everyday Scots with the tools to turn their finances around. It’s about real talk, practical solutions, and strategies you can use without the jargon and with guidance.
Tynah will be joined by some inspirational experts who will share essential financial guidance on topics as wide as pensions, insurance, basic budgeting skills, savings, investing and Business, with a range of hacks and resources to take away. It is an evening designed to give attendees the confidence to navigate everything Money-related.
Why You Need to Pay Attention
Here’s the truth: every year, millions of pounds are left unclaimed by people who don’t realize what they’re entitled to. Whether it’s unclaimed benefits, missed savings opportunities, or unnecessary spending, Scots are losing out while debt and financial stress spiral.
- 11.5 million adults in the UK have less than £100 in savings.
- Personal debt now tops £1.83 trillion, with credit card borrowing hitting record highs.
- Nearly 40% of UK adults admit they don’t feel confident managing their money.
It’s not just numbers; it’s a reality hitting homes across Scotland.
Cutting through the Noise
Unlike typical financial seminars, this event blends practical guidance with Tynah’s relatable, engaging style, making complex financial topics accessible and achievable for all.
The timing couldn’t be better. January is when financial stress peaks, post-Christmas bills, resolutions to save more, and the looming uncertainty of the year ahead. Grow Your Money Live is your chance to break the cycle and take back control.
Tynah’s approach is down-to-earth and refreshingly honest. “No one teaches you how to manage money, but we’re all expected to know how,” she says. “This event is about filling that gap, giving people the tools to make better financial decisions and feel confident doing it.”
With the rising cost of living, it’s more important than ever for Scots to feel confident in managing their finances. Grow Your Money LIVE is all about providing practical skills that attendees can put into action straight away. I can confidently say that participants will save far more than the cost of the ticket, which we’ve worked hard to keep as affordable as possible.”
