Rise Money™
Become a Confident Investor
No jargon. No judgement. Just a simple Irish step‑by‑step plan to manage your money well and learn the skill of investing.
Irish-specific, beginner-friendly, and designed for real life.
Investing Education not advice (so you can make informed decisions for yourself)
For the hard-working people of Ireland who want to take control of their financial future but feel overwhelmed by investing and afraid of making costly mistakes.
What if you could finally hop off the ‘just getting by’ rollercoaster and start feeling clearer and more in control within weeks?
Sound familiar?
You’re doing everything right.
You save regularly, but…
-
Your money is just sitting there, not working for you.
-
Inflation is quietly eating away at your savings.
-
‘Just saving’ feels safe… but on its own, it's not enough to get you where you want to go.
-
Investing? It feels too 'big'; too complex, too risky, and you don’t know where to start.
-
You just want clear, simple, Irish-specific investing guidance.
-
You want to take control, grow your money, and find real financial freedom.
But jargon, fear of making mistakes, not knowing where to start, and worry that you’ve missed the boat are holding you back.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
It’s time to change.
Investing in Ireland isn’t just confusing; it’s uniquely challenging.
As an Irish saver, you face real barriers:
-
Fear: You’ve heard the horror stories, people losing everything. It’s no wonder you think, “Investing is NOT for people like me.”
-
Irrelevant Advice: US, UK, and European investing tips don’t work here. It’s frustrating to find information that actually fits Irish rules and realities.
-
Tax Confusion: The Irish tax system is complex and quirky. It’s easy to feel anxious about making a mistake or getting on the wrong side of Revenue.
No wonder so many of us stay stuck in the “just saving” zone, watching our money do nothing in the bank, too nervous to take the next step.
Working harder isn’t the answer. Working Smarter is.
The real blocks holding Irish people back from investing
Do any of these sound like you?
“I’m afraid of making expensive mistakes or losing everything.”
(Maybe you’ve heard the horror stories, someone lost it all in the last crash.)
“I want to learn, but I’ve never known where to start. I need a clear, step-by-step process.”
“I want to avoid the high fees charged by finance companies.”
“I earn a good wage, but I still feel broke all the time.”
“I worry about the future, my kids and retirement… it feels like I’m starting too late.”
“I need Irish information that actually fits our tax system, most investment sites are for the US or UK.”
You didn’t just wake up one day with these worries about money.
They’ve built up over time; from stories you’ve heard, fears you’ve absorbed, and past experiences that made investing feel risky, confusing, or just “not for people like you.”
You’re not alone, and you’re not stuck.
It’s time to change the story.
The good news?
Fears around money don’t have to hold you back
With the right guidance, you can cut through the noise, take control, and start growing your wealth with real confidence.
"This is life-changing, not just lifestyle"
You work too hard to be this broke; fight for yourself.
I Crushed 6 Figures of debt and built a 7-figure net worth, while raising a family in Ireland
I’ve been exactly where you are.
I was saving like I was “supposed to,” but my money was just sitting there. I didn't understand recessions and market dips. Investing felt too risky, too complicated, and not for people like me; especially in Ireland.
I thought I was bad with money and had to just accept my lot in life.
Then life forced a change: I was drowning in six figures of debt, with two small babies, a single income. A house in a ghost estate we couldn’t live in. The sense of vulnerability and constant anxiety dug deep for many years. I hit the breaking point and took a radical step; my now-well-known No Spend Year™; and everything shifted. My relationship with money changed completely.
I’ve been investing for 20+ years, and I’ve made the mistakes so you don’t have to (yes, I even cashed in two pensions and lost eye-watering amounts of money because I listened to the wrong advice).
I learned the hard way, so you don't have to.
I've taken what actually works in Ireland to create solid day-to-day finances and turned investing into a clear, step-by-step system you can follow with confidence.
No finance bro hype. No jargon. Just the right knowledge, the right mindset, and a hand-holding plan that helps you take control and start moving forward.
How can I help you
Today, I teach people working in Ireland how to take control of their money, invest wisely, and build real financial breathing space.
Everyone deserves a seat at the money-building table; you just need someone to show you how to start.
Money isn’t everything, but when used wisely, it becomes a powerful tool for freedom, security, and a better future.
You are working way too hard to be this broke. It's time to make your money work as hard for you as you do for it.
