Seven years of helping people understand money without the confusion
Started with a Simple Question
Why do most people feel lost when it comes to money? We began teaching basic budgeting in community centers around Geelong, focusing on practical skills that people could use immediately.
Moved Online During Challenges
When everything changed, we adapted quickly. Our online programs helped over 500 people navigate financial uncertainty with confidence and clear planning strategies.
Expanded Beyond Basics
Added investment fundamentals and retirement planning to our curriculum. We realized people wanted to grow their money, not just manage it better.
Looking Ahead
Our September 2025 program launch will include cryptocurrency basics and sustainable investing — topics our students keep asking about.
How You'll Progress
Each module builds on the last. You'll practice with real scenarios and get feedback on actual financial decisions.
Money Foundations
Track your spending, create a budget that works, and set up emergency savings. We use your actual bank statements for practice.
Debt Strategy
Calculate payoff timelines, compare consolidation options, and negotiate with creditors. Real phone scripts included.
Investment Basics
Understand risk tolerance, compare investment accounts, and start with index funds. No get-rich-quick schemes here.
Long-term Planning
Retirement calculations, insurance needs, and estate basics. Plan for the life you actually want to live.
Real Tools for Real Situations
We don't just teach concepts. You'll work with actual financial calculators, budget templates, and comparison worksheets that you can use right away.
Our students tell us these practical tools make the difference between understanding something in class and actually doing it at home.
