Megyn joined the Andersons team in 2021, eager to start her financial services career as soon as she left school. Megyn chose the financial sector because it is a personal area of interest and provides numerous opportunities for career progression.

Megyn says: “Financial education isn’t offered at school and it should be. It’s such an important life skill. As someone who can worry about money, I need a plan with clear stepping stones towards my goals. Not just around retirement but also investment. For me, that means taking full advantage of our good company pension, investing what I can in a Lifetime ISA and making the most of the advice and guidance offered by my employer. 

“We have an open culture and honest discussions about finance in the office, which supports our overall wellbeing. Money can be very taboo but the fear of the unknown is worse. 

“A bit of financial education goes a long way. Just because you don’t have huge amounts of money doesn’t mean you can’t plan for financial security and future growth. Everyone should receive the education and support they need to achieve financial wellbeing.”
