Three Learning Tracks Available

We've designed different pathways based on where people actually are with their finances. Pick the one that matches your current situation—you can always adjust as you go.

1

Foundation Track

You're just starting to organize your finances. Maybe you've been avoiding bank statements or feel uncertain about budgeting basics. This track covers income tracking, expense categorization, and building your first emergency buffer.

8 months • Tuesday evenings
2

Growth Track

Your basics are sorted but you want more control. You're thinking about debt reduction strategies, starting to save consistently, and wondering about investing. We cover medium-term planning and financial decision frameworks.

Strategic Track

You manage money well enough but want to optimize. This covers tax planning approaches, property considerations, investment portfolio thinking, and long-term wealth building strategies for Australian households.

What Participants Have Experienced

Foundation Track • Completed March 2025

Starting Point

I had three credit cards I was juggling and honestly no clear picture of where money went each month. Kept meaning to sort it but never did.

Key Moment

Week five we did expense mapping. Seeing everything laid out like that was a bit shocking but also made it obvious what needed to change first.

Current Situation

Down to one credit card that I pay off monthly. Got a simple tracking system that actually works for me. Not perfect but way more in control than before.

Growth Track • Completed February 2025

Starting Point

Had savings but they just sat there. Wanted to invest but got overwhelmed reading about shares and kept putting it off.

Key Moment

The session on risk tolerance helped me understand why I was hesitating. Turned out my concerns were valid—I just needed a different approach than what I'd been reading about.

Current Situation

Started with a conservative managed fund that matches my comfort level. Not chasing huge returns but my money's actually working now instead of just sitting.

What Makes This Different

Small Groups

Maximum 12 people per track. Everyone gets attention and we can adapt based on what the group actually needs to work through.

Real Scenarios

We use actual situations from Australian households—bills, insurance decisions, super options. Not theoretical examples from textbooks.

Ongoing Access

Group chat stays active after the program ends. Questions come up and it helps to have somewhere to ask without booking a formal appointment.

Strategic Track • Completed January 2025

Starting Point

Running my business okay but personal finances and business finances were kind of blurred. Tax time was always stressful because I hadn't kept things separated properly.

Key Moment

Learning proper structure for keeping things separate was huge. Also the sessions on tax planning made me realize I'd been missing some pretty basic deductions.

Current Situation

Got systems now that keep business and personal truly separate. Working with an accountant more effectively because I understand what they need from me. Last tax season was actually straightforward.

Foundation Track • Completed April 2025

Starting Point

Fresh out of uni, first proper job. Had student debt and no idea how super worked or whether I should even care about it yet.

Key Moment

The compound interest demonstration was eye-opening. Small super contributions now make a massive difference later—wish I'd understood that earlier.

Current Situation

Paying extra into my HECS but also started salary sacrificing a bit into super. Got a plan now instead of just letting things happen automatically.
