Who Alex Is?

Why I’m building FinSmart

I’m Alex — a student who grew up knowing how to spend and save, but not how investing, markets, or financial decisions actually work.

When I tried to learn, I noticed a pattern:

  • Most platforms assume adult knowledge
  • The language is complex and intimidating
  • The focus is on profits, not understanding
  • Education starts after real money is already at risk

That didn’t make sense to me.

So I asked a simple question:

Why isn’t there a safe place to learn how markets work before real money is involved?

FinSmart is my answer.

This Is a Learning Project

FinSmart is still growing.
It’s a thinking project, an experiment, and a personal mission.

I’m building the kind of financial education tool I wish existed earlier — one that teaches how money works, not how to chase it.
