"As I've built up my confidence, I've been able to set my goals higher and higher. I've even started setting aside money to save to buy a house one day. What's super great is that LearnLux has grown with me."
Meet Sophia, a LearnLux member who started her career with little financial confidence and no clear strategy. For HR and Benefits leaders, Sophia’s story highlights how accessible, self-paced financial guidance can help employees build confidence, take action, and progress toward increasingly meaningful financial goals over time.
Sophia began using LearnLux early in her career to build basic financial awareness in a way that felt private and manageable. By engaging with LearnLux resources at her own pace, she gradually built confidence, created her first budget, and began setting clear goals. Three years later, Sophia has paid off her car, reduced her student debt, opened retirement and investment accounts, and started saving toward homeownership, demonstrating how financial wellbeing support can grow with employees as their needs and goals evolve.
Hi, I am Sophia and I'm here to tell you about my experience so far with LearnLux. Three years ago, I started using LearnLux. At that point, I had very little knowledge about money, and I had absolutely no financial strategy. I was pretty new to the workforce, and quite honestly, I avoided thinking about my finances because it was overwhelming to have so many words and concepts go right over my head.
So to get over this kind of initial hump, I started with a small goal and that was just to improve my financial awareness. To do that, I used almost every LearnLux tool that was available to me. I watched the informational videos. I attended webinars, and I even made my first budget with the budgeting tool.
I really appreciated how all of these LearnLux tools were able to be used at your own pace and allowed me to learn in private. I had a lot of shame and embarrassment about not knowing so much financially and feeling like I was light years behind other people my age who knew what they were doing and seemed to have it all figured out.
So it was really helpful to be able to move at my and do what I needed to do to build up my confidence, and as I've built up my confidence, I've been able to set my goals higher and higher. So since then, I am happy to report that I've paid off my car. I've paid down a significant amount of my student debt.
I've opened up both retirement and investment accounts, and I've even started setting aside money to save to buy a house one day. What's super great is that LearnLux has grown with me. It was very helpful when I first started out, and it's still just as helpful now as I plan for bigger goals and look ahead at my future.
I can honestly say I would recommend LearnLux to anybody at any point in their financial journey. It will be super helpful to you.
