What You'll Actually Learn

A structured 12-week journey designed to transform how you understand and manage your money. Next cohort begins September 2025.

1

Financial Psychology & Spending Patterns

We start by examining why you spend the way you do. Most people don't have a budget problem—they have a clarity problem. This module helps you identify your spending triggers and patterns without judgment.

2

The Categorization Framework

Learn the system we've refined over five years of working with Australian households. You'll discover how to create categories that actually reflect your life—not some generic template that doesn't fit your situation.

3

Tools & Technology Integration

Whether you prefer spreadsheets or apps, we'll show you how to automate tracking without losing the human insight. You'll leave with a system that takes minutes per week to maintain.

4

Adapting Your System Over Time

Life changes. Your budget should too. The final weeks focus on building flexibility into your categorization approach so it grows with you through career changes, family additions, and unexpected situations.

Learn from People Who've Been There

Our instructors aren't just financial experts—they're people who've struggled with budgeting themselves and found approaches that actually work in messy, complicated real life.

  • Small group sessions capped at 15 participants for genuine interaction
  • Monthly check-ins continue for six months after program completion
  • Access to private community forum for ongoing support
  • Real-time troubleshooting when your system isn't working
