Planning your weekly budget shouldn't feel like solving a puzzle. Our courses start in late 2025 and early 2026, giving you plenty of time to prepare for real change in how you handle money.
We're talking practical skills here — not theory you'll forget next week. Each program runs for several weeks and focuses on building habits that actually stick around.
Start with the basics. This one's about understanding where your money goes each week and why that matters more than you think. We break down income tracking, expense categories, and the difference between what you need versus what you want.

Ripley's been teaching budget management across Australia for twelve years now. She started after watching too many friends stress over money despite earning decent wages. Her approach? Skip the financial jargon and focus on systems that work in real kitchens with real grocery receipts.
She's worked with everyone from apprentices to small business owners, and her courses always come back to one thing: your budget should serve your life, not control it. Based here in Hobart, she brings local context to every session — because budgeting in Tasmania has its own quirks compared to mainland cities.
Expect honesty, practical worksheets you'll actually use, and zero judgment about your current financial situation. Everyone starts somewhere different.
