Live polls that reveal your real priorities

Quick polls guide you to rank values like security, travel, or home ownership. During one session, Ana realized her top priority was flexibility, not a bigger apartment, and reshaped her budget in minutes. Vote, compare results, and decide with clarity.

Budget labs where you build a plan in real time

We co-create a working budget on screen, line by line, using your actual categories. You’ll test assumptions, plug in numbers, and see tradeoffs instantly. Ask questions, share screens if you wish, and leave with a living plan you trust.

Planning sprints from goal to action

In 30 focused minutes, you define a financial goal, choose metrics, and commit to first steps. We time-box tasks so perfectionism cannot stall progress. You finish with a checklist, a calendar reminder, and peer encouragement to keep momentum.

50/30/20, stress-tested with real expenses

We run your monthly numbers through the 50/30/20 model, then stress-test with surprise costs and savings goals. Seeing categories stretch and snap reveals where flexibility is hiding. Share your results in chat and hear how others tweaked their ratios.

Zero-based budgeting, built together

Every dollar gets a job—on purpose. We assign tasks to income until nothing is left idle, including seasonal items you usually forget. During one workshop, Malik found $180 of unused subscriptions. Try it live and claim your quiet wins.

Behavior Meets Money: Decisions Under Pressure

We role-play a tempting purchase and hear your future self argue for tomorrow’s goals. It sounds silly until it works. One participant delayed a gadget buy for two paychecks and funded an emergency buffer instead. Try the script and report back.

Behavior Meets Money: Decisions Under Pressure

We map triggers, routines, and rewards for saving and debt paydown. Pair paycheck dates with automatic transfers and a tiny celebration cue. Share your loop ideas with the group, then copy two that match your rhythm. Small loops, big outcomes.

Debt and Credit: Interactive Clarity

Snowball vs. avalanche, side-by-side simulation

Enter balances and rates into our shared calculator. Watch timelines change as you switch from snowball to avalanche and add small extra payments. Jade cut eight months by moving one extra $40. Share your inputs to compare realistic paydown paths.

Credit score truths you can test

We separate myth from reality by simulating utilization, on-time payments, and credit mix. You’ll see which actions move the needle and which are noise. Bring your questions, vote on scenarios, and leave with three specific, trackable next steps.

Negotiation role-play for lower rates

We practice a respectful script to request a reduced APR or a hardship plan. You’ll rehearse pauses, documentation, and follow-ups. After one session, Priya secured a two-point drop. Record your version, call this week, and share your results.

Investing Basics You Can Simulate

Risk tolerance calibration, not guesswork

Through interactive scenarios, you experience a market dip and choose reactions. We contrast emotional choices with planned rules. Your responses shape a draft policy statement you can actually follow. Post your comfort range and learn from others’ ranges.

Index funds, diversification, and fees in focus

We compare hypothetical portfolios, highlighting diversification and the quiet drag of fees. A tiny fee difference compounds into real money over decades. Upload a sample lineup, anonymized, and we will model long-term gaps together. Clarity beats FOMO every time.

Time horizons and the magic of compounding

A simple slider shows how starting earlier reduces stress later. We simulate monthly contributions and periodic increases aligned with raises. One participant began with $50 and a promise to bump it quarterly. Commit your first step and set a reminder.

Resilience: Budgeting for the Unexpected

We pick a target, choose a safe parking spot, and schedule automatic transfers. You’ll brainstorm quick cash sources and define “when to use” rules. Share your target months and celebrate the first hundred saved. Momentum matters more than perfection.

Resilience: Budgeting for the Unexpected

Freelancers and salaried folks alike stress-test budgets against sudden dips and spikes. We build a buffer account and a variable pay protocol. Comment with your pay cycle and we’ll adapt the template so lean months feel survivable, not scary.
