Here’s what readers are already saying about Escape the Money Trap:

Been meaning to get in touch for a while to say how great your substack blogs are! I’ve been reading them as they are published and I think you’ve done such a great job in making it so easy to understand and accessible to all.

I’m enjoying the blog. It’s very helpful and simple to understand. I like the summary points at the end of each post. It’s really nicely written and I like your examples. Great work! Top of the class Ro!

Really clear and easy to understand very friendly

About Me

I’m a career changer. After graduating from Cambridge (Computer Science degree) I spent seven years at Deutsche Bank in various technology roles before realising it wasn’t the life I wanted.

So I retrained as a maths teacher — and I’ve now been teaching for over 12 years. It’s the best decision I ever made. I love the profession, and I genuinely feel I was born to do it.

A few years ago, I also realised something important:
I knew almost nothing about personal finance or investing.

So I started learning. Slowly, steadily, and from scratch — just like many of you.

Now, I’m sharing what I’ve learned, hopefully with some clarity, encouragement, and a focus on what actually works.
