Budget Foundations That Actually Work
We started teaching budget essentials back in 2019 because too many people felt lost with their finances
Our programs grew from small weekend workshops into comprehensive training that helps real people manage money better. Not through gimmicks or complicated formulas—just practical approaches that fit into everyday life. Programs start September 2025.
Talk With Our TeamHow We Got Here
Started small in Phuket. Grew steadily by actually listening to what people needed help with. Six years later, we're still doing the same thing—just with more experience.
First Workshop
Twelve people showed up to our first Saturday morning session. We covered basic expense tracking and bill management. Nothing fancy, but everyone said they learned something useful.
Program Expansion
Added monthly courses after people kept asking for more structure. Created materials for different experience levels—beginners through advanced budgeters. Word spread mostly through referrals.
Teaching Team Grows
Brought on two more instructors who'd been through our programs themselves. They understood what new learners struggle with. Started offering evening sessions for working professionals.
Current Focus
We're now working with students across Thailand. Still teaching the same core principles, but we've refined how we present them. Next cohort starts September 2025 with new flexible scheduling options.
Who Teaches These Programs
Our instructors came to financial education from different backgrounds. What they share: years of working directly with people on budget challenges, and a teaching style that skips the jargon.

Planning SpecialistMiranda worked in small business accounting for twelve years before switching to education in 2022. She brings real-world experience with budget systems and planning frameworks. Known for one-on-one coaching that addresses specific household situations.
How We Actually Teach
People learn finances better by doing, not just listening. So our sessions involve actual budget scenarios, hands-on exercises, and reviewing real examples. We keep groups small—eight to twelve people—so instructors can answer individual questions.
- Start with your current situation, not some theoretical ideal budget
- Practice tracking expenses for two weeks before planning anything major
- Learn one budgeting method thoroughly rather than sampling five approaches
- Get feedback on your specific circumstances, not generic advice
- Build habits gradually through monthly check-ins and adjustments
Program Structure
Our twelve-week course covers budget fundamentals in three phases. Each phase includes classroom sessions, take-home exercises, and review meetings. Programs meet twice weekly—Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7pm to 9pm starting September 2025.
Foundation Weeks
Weeks one through four focus on expense tracking, income documentation, and identifying spending patterns. You'll learn three different tracking methods and choose what works for your lifestyle.
Planning Phase
Weeks five through eight cover budget creation, category allocation, and building in flexibility. We work through scenarios based on your actual financial data from phase one.
Implementation
Weeks nine through twelve focus on maintaining your budget system, adjusting for changes, and troubleshooting common issues. Includes monthly planning practice and review sessions.
