Our relationship with money is complex. It is also intuitive.
Finance, as it is today, has conditioned us to second guess our choices. We at SALT, think it is time to reassert agency. We say reassert because nobody needs to give us anything when it comes to money or the acumen to make decisions about it.
It is inherent. Like ‘salt to taste’.
