What Actually Happens During Three Months

Most people come in thinking they need complicated spreadsheets. They leave with simple systems that actually work for their lifestyle. We spend more time on building habits than teaching software.

First month focuses on understanding where money goes. Not judging, just tracking. Second month introduces categorization methods that make sense for your situation. Final month is about troubleshooting and making it stick.

  • Weekly practice assignments based on your actual expenses
  • Group sessions where people share what's working and what isn't
  • One-on-one reviews every three weeks to adjust your approach
  • Access to tools and templates used by financial planners in Taiwan
  • Alumni community for ongoing questions after program ends

Both instructors spent years tracking expenses for themselves before helping others. They've seen every mistake and know which shortcuts actually save time.
