The Aka Advantage

It’s not just about making money. It’s about making money work for you.

Thank you for visiting the site. If you are curious about your relationship with money, and what drives your financial choices, you are in the right place.

I have always wondered about the similarity of financial behaviour (our understanding of money, our spending and saving patterns) and social behaviour (how to behave, what to speak, what body language to adopt). In both these areas, no one really tells us what to do and we are left to navigate and find our own way through. We always end up finding something that works for us, but may not necessarily be the best choice, given our personal circumstances. If you are here on this site, maybe it is now time for you to shed light on these self-learnt financial patterns and see if they still serve you. While the time dedicated to this exercise may be small (just a few hours), but the returns on this time invested will be huge, as you will acquire a new lens to look at the fascinating world of money management, for your particular situation and circumstances.
