Resources That Actually Help You Learn

We've gathered tools and materials that our students find genuinely useful. No fluff—just practical stuff that helps you understand how money works and how to track what you own.

Programs starting September 2025

What You'll Find Here

Financial planning worksheets and calculators

Calculation Worksheets

Simple spreadsheets that walk you through adding up assets and liabilities. We created these after watching students struggle with complicated financial software. They're pretty basic, but that's the point.

Real-world financial scenarios and case studies

Real Scenarios

Case studies based on actual financial situations (anonymized, of course). These help you see patterns in how people build or lose wealth over time. Some are encouraging. Others are cautionary tales.

How Students Usually Progress

1

Getting Your Bearings

Most people spend the first few weeks just figuring out what they actually own and owe. It sounds simple, but gathering bank statements and property details takes longer than you'd think.

2

Running the Numbers

Once you have the data, you learn different ways to calculate net worth. There's the straightforward method, and then there are adjustments for things like superannuation and property values that change.

3

Understanding the Patterns

After a few months, you start seeing how small decisions compound. This is where it gets interesting—you begin noticing financial patterns you never saw before.

4

Building Your System

Eventually, you develop a personal tracking system that fits your situation. Some people update monthly, others quarterly. There's no perfect schedule—just what works for your life.

People Who've Been Through It

Completed Program 2024

I thought I was okay with money until I actually did the calculations. Turns out I had more debt than I realized, but also more equity in my home. Seeing both numbers clearly changed how I approach purchases now.

The worksheets helped me organize information I'd been avoiding for years. It wasn't fun confronting some of those numbers, but having a clear picture made it easier to start making changes.

Finished August 2024

What surprised me most was how my net worth fluctuated month to month. The program taught me to look at trends over time rather than getting stressed about single data points. Much more useful approach.
