I'd tried budgeting apps before, but they never stuck. What changed for me was having other people in similar situations. When Presca shared her method for tracking variable expenses, it clicked. Six months later, I had my first real emergency fund.
Build Real Financial Skills Together
Join our community-driven program where you'll learn practical budgeting alongside peers who share your goals. Real scenarios, honest feedback, and sustainable money habits that actually stick.
Learn With Your Peers
Our program works because you're not figuring this out alone. You'll join small groups where everyone brings different perspectives on money challenges. We've found people stay more committed when they have others to bounce ideas off.
Each week, you'll work through real budgeting scenarios together. Someone might share how they tackled their grocery overspending, while another person explains their approach to emergency fund building. These conversations often spark the breakthrough moments our participants remember most.

Join Our Next Cohort
We run small groups throughout the year, starting new cohorts every few months. The program runs for 12 weeks, with weekly 90-minute sessions and optional individual check-ins.
