Financial Webinars That Actually Help

Join our live sessions where we break down budget categorization into manageable steps. Real conversations about money management, without the jargon or overwhelming complexity. These sessions run monthly, and yeah, they're actually useful.

What's Coming Up

We've got three sessions scheduled between August and October 2025. Each one digs into a different aspect of how to organize your spending without making it feel like homework.

Starting With Categories

Most people struggle because they try to track everything at once. We'll show you how to begin with just three main categories and expand from there. Bring your questions about where to even start.

Variable Expenses Don't Have To Be Chaos

Groceries, petrol, entertainment. These change every month and that's fine. We'll walk through setting up flexible categories that adjust with your actual spending patterns instead of fighting against them.

Planning For The Big Stuff

Car registration. Insurance renewals. Holiday shopping. These predictable annual expenses throw everyone off. Learn how to set aside money monthly so they don't wreck your budget when they arrive.

How These Sessions Actually Work

Each webinar follows a similar structure. We spend about 40 minutes on the core topic, then open it up for questions. People usually have specific situations they want to discuss, which honestly makes these sessions more useful than any script we could follow.

1

Introduction and Context

We start by explaining why this particular aspect of budgeting matters and what problems it solves. No fluff or theory for theory's sake.

2

Practical Examples

Real scenarios from actual budgets. We show you what works and what doesn't, using anonymized examples from people we've helped.

3

Interactive Q&A

The last 20 minutes belong to you. Ask about your specific situation, get clarification, or dig deeper into whatever's been confusing you.

Who's Running These

Three people who've spent years helping Australians sort out their finances. They know the common mistakes because they've seen them all before, and they're pretty good at explaining things without being condescending about it.
