The story behind The Savvy Corner

I founded The Savvy Corner in 2017 as a safe and non-judgemental place for people who are ready to talk about money in a meaningful way. The name has an interesting story which I am delighted to share with you.

I am used to talking about money as I come from a culture where it’s not such a taboo subject. I was engaged in a conversation about finances with someone when they made the following comment: “That accent and wisdom must come from a different corner of the world. Where are you from?” As a joke, my answer was “I guess I’m from the savvy corner”. The words “savvy corner” stayed with me for a long time. When it was time to name my business there was no other name that seemed to suit it better.

I come from an ex-communist country and that culture shaped me and my relationship with money. It wasn’t always easy, especially when I was very young, but I am a firm believer that we create our own stories. Therefore, instead of thinking of it in a negative way, I decided to look at the benefits instead. I come from the savvy corner of the world because of the things that life taught me about money.
