Qygigoo started as a straightforward response to a specific gap: most financial education available online was either too abstract or aimed at people who already had a solid base. The community around Galway had neither.
The first sessions were small — a dozen participants, a shared spreadsheet, and a lot of honest questions. That format turned out to work better than polished slide decks, so we kept it.
The focus has stayed on practical financial foundations: budgeting that accounts for real Irish household costs, understanding savings instruments that are actually available here, and reading financial documents without needing a degree to do it.
What we avoid deliberately: motivational framing, vague advice, and anything that sounds like it belongs in a self-help book. Numbers are more useful than narratives when you're trying to figure out where your money goes.
