Budgeting can be frustrating!

We understand. We have also spent too much time feeling lost and incapable. Over several years of trials and failures, we came up with a system that makes things better. It has worked in many different financial and life situations. It is so good we think you can even be happy while budgeting!

How can I help?

Looking to share this with the world, we noticed that many places charge a lot of money to share their advice. Budgeting is such a basic and important skill that we think it should be inexpensive and available to everyone. So we created a nonprofit to make that happen. You can help by donating to our cause.

Financial issues (whether they happen to an individual or within a family) cause real difficulties. That hopelessness that comes from being crippled by debt and barely living paycheck to paycheck is a pain that all too many of us know. The start to fixing any financial issue is learning how to spend less than you earn, then learning how do do that consistently, week after week, month after month. We aren't offering a quick fix, but we are offering to make the journey as enjoyable as possible.

Help fund us so we can teach people, all kinds of people, how to budget in a way that will bring happiness to their life. It's even ok if you are one of those people who need help. The problem wasn't you, it was they way you were taught. Let's fix that.
