Foundation Skills

Setting Up Your First Budget

Start with income and fixed expenses, then work out what's left for everything else.

We'll cover the 50/30/20 rule as a starting point, but then adapt it to your actual life. Most people need something more flexible than the textbook version.
Practical Methods

The Envelope System for Digital Banking

How to use the old cash envelope method when everything's electronic now.

You don't need multiple bank accounts or complicated apps. We'll show you how to track virtual envelopes with a simple spreadsheet that takes about 5 minutes a week to update.
Real Scenarios

Handling Irregular Income

Budgeting when your paycheck changes every month is tricky but doable.

Freelancers and casual workers need a different approach. We'll look at averaging income, building buffers, and prioritizing expenses based on what's actually come in.
Advanced Planning

Preparing for Big Expenses

Car registration, insurance renewals, school fees—they're not surprises if you plan ahead.

Set aside small amounts monthly so these bills don't wreck your budget when they hit. We'll create a calendar of your annual expenses and break them into manageable chunks.
