A budget you can actually keep up
Map your income and your fixed and variable expenses, and find the small money leaks that go unnoticed from day to day.
Online course · monthly classes
An online course for Canadians who want to see where each paycheque goes, work through debt with a simple method and take first steps with saving and registered accounts such as the TFSA, RRSP and FHSA. Practical lessons, plus a class to learn alongside.
Who it is for
If you have lost track of how many bills are still unpaid, wince when the credit card statement arrives, or were simply never taught how to organize what you earn, this course was designed for you, with no miracle promises and no financial-industry jargon.
You get paid every month but never know exactly where the money went.
Your credit card balance or overdraft feels impossible to keep under control.
You want to save, but nothing is ever left at the end of the month.
You have heard of the TFSA, RRSP or FHSA but are not sure where to begin.
How it works
Lessons run live once a week, and the recording is released within 24 hours for anyone who cannot attend at that time. Each class has its own group for trading questions and celebrating small wins together.
