Informed, Empowered, Future‑Ready

I’m Christos—a Shipping‑Management student at the American College of Greece, future MSc‑Finance candidate, and co‑operator of several family businesses. After juggling side‑hustles, stock investing, and coursework, I realised Gen Z needs a straight‑talking guide to personal finance that isn’t written for boomers.

Our Story & Vision

Growing up in Greece’s shipping hubs taught me two things: global trade never sleeps, and smart money management beats high income every time. While helping my dad scale several businesses, I started investing my first €1 000—learning, the hard way, how fees, taxes, and biases eat returns.

BudCents distils those lessons into plain‑English guides so you can:

  • Budget on an irregular student income.
  • Invest early through low‑fee brokers & ESG ETFs.
  • Leverage credit for perks without sabotaging your credit score.
  • Monetise skills via side‑hustles that fit around lectures.

Mission: make Gen Z the most financially literate—and financially ethical—generation yet.
