When it comes to money, finance coach, author and podcaster Ellie Austin-Williams is all about getting people to talk. In fact, her hugely successful site and social channel is called ‘This Girl Talks Money’ and via her relatable, practical and easy-to-understand content she’s “opening up the conversation around earning, spending, saving and managing money” and helping thousands of financially challenged young people in the process.
Talking to young people about money in a relevant, relatable way was a huge part of Ellie’s decision to set up her blog in the first place. She was living in London and in her first job as a trainee solicitor when she started to get interested in finance. “It was the first time after years of student living that I’d had a proper salary and I wanted to balance having fun with making good decisions for my future.” But when she started looking for guidance and advice, Ellie was frustrated by what she found.
