Why this lasts

What you'll still have
in ten years

Twelve months of Akrue is the shortest part of this. What you actually keep is the ability to sit in a room where money is being discussed and know exactly what's being said. That doesn't expire.

What you understand → the years you're guessing First job: you read every line of the payslip. First tax return: a form you understand. First car loan: you know what it's costing you. First accountant: no nodding along. First home conversation: you know the words. Super decision: you understand the choice. First real investment: a decision you understand. First job: look at the bottom number and hope. First tax return: guess, lodge, hope. First car loan: the step up comes after the sting. First accountant: nod along, learn a little. First home: a crash course under pressure. Super decision: set, forgotten, learned late. First real investment: learned the hard way.

The rooms you'll sit in

Every one of these is coming.
The only question is whether you'll be guessing.

Your first real payslip

Most people look at the number at the bottom and hope. (Impatient? Decode yours free, right now.)

You'll know what every line above it is, and whether it's right.

Your first tax return

The envelope everyone's scared of.

Not a mystery. A form you understand.

The first time you sit down with an accountant

They'll say depreciation, offset, deduction, franking. Most people nod.

You won't have to.

Your first mortgage conversation

Rates, LMI, stamp duty, offset accounts, what "comparison rate" actually means. The rules nobody teaches and everybody's expected to already know.

You'll walk in knowing the words.

The first time somebody tries to sell you something financial

And somebody will.

You'll know which questions to ask. That's the one that matters most.

And your first real investment

Wherever you choose to make it.

Not a guess. A decision you understand.
And the one that matters most

You'll find out what
you're actually like

Somewhere in twelve months of practising with no real money on the line, you'll find out what you're actually like. Whether a red day bothers you. Whether you're patient or you're not. Whether you're the type to hold or the type to panic.

You'll learn where your own line is: before it costs you anything.

Most people find that out with real money, in a bad week, when it's too late to be a lesson.

A free simulator teaches you to trade. It doesn't teach you about yourself.

Twelve months. Then it's yours.
