What people say

Don’t take my word for it

These reviews are from across all of my Real Life Money services.

Sound familiar?

Your pension is huge. The paperwork is a maze.

“I’ve got a pension statement and no idea what it’s telling me.”

I’ll walk you through it in plain English.

“I’ve been given options and I don’t know how to choose.”

We’ll look at what each one means so you can decide with confidence.

“I don’t have time to work this out in term time.”

Send me your details and I’ll take it from there.

Understand it before you decide

Clear explanations and a second pair of eyes, so you can make your own decisions confidently.

About me

“I believe in financial support that is affordable for all.”

Most people don’t have the luxury of a financial advisor. We should learn financial literacy in school. These are the reasons why I built Real Life Money.

I want you to feel confident and informed about your pension. They are made overly complicated, but I will support you through every decision.

I’m a teacher too, so I know how little time we have for pension admin and how confusing the paperwork can be.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is this financial advice?

No. I help you understand your documents and options, but I don’t make personal recommendations on what you should do. For regulated advice, you’d need an FCA-authorised adviser, and I can explain when that might be worth it.

What can you help with?

Making sense of statements and paperwork, understanding the options in front of you, and working out the right questions to ask.

What should I send you?

Nothing sensitive in the form. I’ll tell you what to share when I get in touch.

How much does it cost?

£50 for the service. I’ll confirm everything when I contact you.

Are you a teacher?

Yes. I’m a secondary school maths teacher, so I understand the profession as well as the finances.

Who are you and why should I trust you?

I’m Leo, a secondary school maths teacher and former financial adviser based in Bristol. I’m not selling products and there are no referral fees or commissions, just honest, practical help.
