Budget Mastery Program

Learning to manage money isn't about becoming an accountant. It's about gaining control over where your money goes instead of wondering where it went. Our program walks you through practical budget categorization methods that work for real people living real lives in Thailand's unique economic landscape.

What You'll Actually Learn

Six focused modules that build on each other. Each one takes about three weeks to complete properly.

01

Understanding Money Flow

Before categorizing anything, you need to see where money actually moves in your life. We start by tracking patterns without judgment or pressure.

3 weeks
02

Building Your Category System

Generic budget categories don't work because everyone's priorities differ. You'll create categories that reflect your actual spending reality and financial goals.

3 weeks
03

Tracking Without Burnout

Most people quit tracking after two weeks. We show you sustainable methods that take minutes per day instead of hours.

3 weeks
04

Adjusting When Life Happens

Unexpected expenses will come. Medical bills, car repairs, family emergencies. You'll learn how to adjust categories without abandoning the entire system.

3 weeks
05

Planning for Irregular Expenses

Insurance payments, vehicle registration, annual subscriptions. These predictable irregulars wreck budgets. We build them into your system properly.

3 weeks
06

Long-Term Sustainability

After six months, you should be able to maintain your budget system with minimal effort. This module focuses on habits that stick.

Completed November 2024

I finally stopped feeling anxious every time I checked my bank account. The category system they taught actually made sense for how I live. Took about four months before it felt natural.

Completed September 2024

The tracking methods saved me. I tried budgeting apps before and always quit after two weeks. What they showed me takes maybe five minutes a day. Still using it eight months later.

Program Timeline

The full program runs for six months. We meet twice per month for group sessions, plus you get access to one-on-one check-ins when you need them.

1

Foundation Phase

Months 1-2

You'll track spending without trying to change anything yet. Most people are surprised by what they discover. We help you see patterns you didn't know existed and understand why certain categories always run over.

2

System Building Phase

Months 3-4

Now you create your personal category system and start making adjustments. This is where most people hit resistance because changing money habits feels uncomfortable. We work through that together.

3

Refinement Phase

Months 5-6

By now your system is working, but it still needs fine-tuning. You'll learn how to handle exceptions, plan for irregular expenses, and maintain the system without constant supervision. The goal is independence.

  • Must commit to twice-monthly sessions
  • Need basic computer or smartphone access
  • Works best if you're currently struggling with spending tracking
