Sydney Desjarlais

These courses were very educational and all of them opened my eyes up to a whole new world of investing and saving.

Kimme Myles

I learned how to look at various investment vehicles and decide what works best for me rather than trust yet another “investment advisor” who placed their own interests before mine.

Kimme Myles
Scott Kells

Prior to taking the course I was giving my money to a financial advisor and trusting they knew what they were doing... I quickly realized how little I knew.

Linda Stephens

I have made some major financial decisions that have benefited my family and yours can too.

Ann Debono

I entered coaching with Alanna at Enriched Academy because I wanted to increase my financial awareness. Although, I have been investing in my RRSPs for many years, I knew that I wasn't paying enough attention to those investments, particularly how the high fees I had been paying for an actively managed portfolio had affected my bottom line. Through my sessions with Alanna, I had a great conversation with my financial planner where we made the switch over to ETFs, resulting in a tremendous savings of $2039 in fees in less than one year. I then researched investing in Wealth simple ETFs and am happy to report that my portfolio has earned over 9% return in the past 18 months, while I have paid very low fees. Along with investing, I also became more knowledgeable about our family spending habits, credit card usage, and how to leverage our existing HE LOC to make it work for us. I truly appreciate all of our sessions and will continue to use Alanna's advice regularly.

The Enriched Academy course was very interesting and engaging, it taught me many ways to better manage my money in an enjoyable fashion. Some of the things it taught me are how to invest my money and some good options for what to invest in. I learned that you could make money by renting out houses which, before the course.
