Money Doesn't Have to Feel Complicated

Real strategies for real people who want clarity around their finances

We started teaching budgeting after watching too many friends struggle with spreadsheets that made them feel worse, not better. The truth? Most financial advice assumes you have everything figured out already.

What Actually Works

Build a Budget System That Fits Your Life

Not the other way around. We've spent years teaching people who thought they were terrible with money. Turns out, the systems were terrible.

Our autumn 2025 programme walks through the basics without making you feel behind. You'll learn how to track spending without obsessing, plan for irregular expenses without panic, and actually understand where your money goes.

  • Start with your actual spending patterns, not someone else's ideal
  • Build categories that make sense for your life
  • Learn to adjust when things change without starting over
  • Practice with real scenarios from people who've been there

Learn Alongside People Who Get It

Financial literacy shouldn't feel isolating. Our small group sessions give you space to ask questions that actually matter to you.

Real Conversations

Talk through challenges with others navigating similar financial situations. Most breakthroughs happen when someone asks the question you were afraid to voice.

Practical Exercises

Work through your actual budget during sessions. Get feedback on what's working and troubleshoot what isn't, with guidance that respects your circumstances.

Ongoing Support

Check in with your cohort after the programme ends. People often find the continued connection more valuable than the initial coursework.

I'd tried three different budgeting apps before this. None of them helped because I didn't understand the underlying principles. Now I actually know what I'm doing, and my bank account finally reflects that.

The group format made such a difference. Hearing how others solved problems gave me ideas I never would have thought of on my own. Plus it was reassuring to know I wasn't the only one confused about certain things.
