Questions at Every Stage

Before You Start
What if I'm terrible with numbers or have never budgeted before?
Most of our participants start exactly where you are. We use simple tools and break everything into manageable steps. You don't need to be a math whiz – just willing to learn and practice.
How much time does this actually require each week?
Plan on about 3-4 hours weekly – this includes a 90-minute group session plus time for homework and tracking. Most people find the time investment pays off quickly when they see results.
Do I need to share my financial details with the group?
Never. We work with scenarios and percentages, not your actual numbers. Individual coaching sessions are completely confidential, and you control what you're comfortable discussing.
During the Program
What happens if I fall behind or miss sessions?
Real life gets messy – we get it. All sessions are recorded, and we provide catch-up materials. Your coach will work with you to stay on track without adding stress to your situation.
My income varies a lot each month. Will this still work?
Absolutely. Variable income budgeting is actually one of our specialties. We'll teach you techniques for managing irregular paychecks and seasonal work patterns.
After Completion
What ongoing support do you provide?
You get access to our alumni community, monthly check-in calls, and updated resources for one full year. Plus, you can schedule follow-up coaching sessions at a reduced rate.
How do I handle major life changes after the program?
We cover this extensively in the final sessions. You'll have frameworks for adjusting your budget for job changes, family growth, or other major shifts. The alumni community is also great for this kind of support.
