So that was important to us and really a big insight from that research.
And the other part was like, there's a lot of taboo around money, a lot of what we say, whakamau, shame around money, which is like that you, and that is something that we wanted to help change too.
And that's why, you know, we have our,
say our Facebook group, like Share Club, where we want people to be able to share insights with each other or like, and we hear that a lot in terms of families now around the dinner table talking about shares.
You know, this is stuff that I never got growing up.
I don't know if many of us have.
And it's great to see more and more like communities being able to talk about it or
Kids at school thinking about investing in shares.
And we're in a world now where it doesn't mean you have heaps of money.
It doesn't, you know, it's not about the amount.
It's about anymore, which is great.
You can just have these conversations.
And I think removing that taboo around money and sharing this information that has been
quite locked up, it feels like, or not as accessible to everyone.
As soon as you start to see that, those conversations happen more and that enables more learning, more insight into investing or money and wealth development and ultimately starts to move the momentum forward.
And so that's the area that I see Sharesies playing around financial wellness is like bringing that positive hope perspective and really helping on that wealth development journey and
being a place where it feels safe to get started, it feels great in terms of you're already established an investor and you've got your portfolio in one place and now you feel like you can help others have a common language and understanding around investing too.
And I think I've seen some of that momentum already and that's really exciting.
I think, you know, it is unique based on your relationship and situation with people.
But I think, you know, some things that come to mind is just sharing what you're doing is quite important.
