About Us

I was 14 when I first earned ‘serious’ money as a team member at Hungry Jacks. At the time, I followed the advice my parents gave me and simply put my money in the High Interest Savings Account that I had set up with my parents about a month earlier. 

I knew what I wanted to save for: my first car. I didn’t know how much it was going to cost, so I simply saved and saved. 

But once I got my car, I no longer knew what I was saving for. It was good to watch my savings account grow higher and higher, but why? Was there a better place to put my money, where it would grow even faster? 

I asked my parents, friends, and even some teachers about something I had heard of: the “stock market”. But no one could tell me exactly what it was, how it works, and how I can get a start in the market.  

At Pluton, we’re here to help bring financial literacy to young Australians so they don’t have to struggle with the same questions I did. We break down financial topics like investing, taxation, superannuation, and managing risk into practical and engaging workshops. 

Honestly, if I had learned about these topics at high school, I would have felt far more confident in managing my finances as a young adult. That’s why we’re passionate about promoting financial literacy in classrooms. 

Let’s give young people the knowledge they need to make smarter financial decisions. Now, and for the future.
