How This Actually Helps
Look, most budgeting advice feels like it's written for people who already have their act together. We start from wherever you're at right now. Maybe you've never tracked a dollar in your life. Maybe you tried before and it lasted about three days. That's fine.
The sessions run for twelve weeks, but you're not locked into some rigid curriculum. We spend the first couple of weeks just figuring out your current situation. And I mean really looking at it—not the version you wish was true.
After that, we build your system. Some people like apps. Others prefer a simple notebook. A few still use cash envelopes, which honestly works better than you'd think. The point is finding what you'll actually stick with.
Between sessions, you test things out. Then we troubleshoot together. Someone always hits a snag—forgot to track something, had an unexpected expense, got confused about categorizing stuff. That's when the group format really helps, because chances are someone else figured out that exact problem last week.
Session Format
Two-hour evening sessions, once weekly. Mix of instruction, group discussion, and hands-on work. Limited to 15 participants so everyone gets attention when they need it.
Who This Works For
Anyone who wants better control over their money. We've had recent grads, families, people changing careers, and folks nearing retirement. Different situations, same basic challenge.
