Build Financial Confidence Through Practical Learning
A structured approach to mastering family budgeting skills that work in real life.
Most people don't need more financial theory. They need practical methods they can actually apply when bills arrive and expenses pile up. Our program walks you through the exact steps families use to track spending, plan ahead, and make decisions that stick—without overwhelming spreadsheets or confusing jargon.

Meet Your Instructor
Hwang Yeong-Sook, Family Finance Educator
I've spent twelve years helping families in Taiwan figure out their money situations. Not through fancy investment strategies or get-rich schemes, but through the boring stuff that actually works—tracking, planning, and making conscious choices about spending.
Before this, I made plenty of financial mistakes myself. I know what it's like to feel behind, to avoid looking at bank statements, and to wonder where the month's salary disappeared to. That experience shapes how I teach—no judgment, just practical steps that work for regular families.
Teaching Approach

Your Learning Timeline
Here's what typically happens during the six-month program. Everyone moves at their own pace, but this gives you a sense of the progression.
Getting Oriented
Month 1
You'll set up your tracking system and start seeing where money actually goes. This phase feels uncomfortable for most people—that's normal. We're building awareness, not judging past choices.
- Complete picture of current spending patterns
- Working tracking system customized to your situation
- Clear categories that make sense for your family
Building Structure
Months 2-3
Now we create plans that account for irregular expenses and income variations. You'll learn to build buffers and make trade-offs that align with what matters to your family. This is where things start clicking.
- Monthly planning routine that takes under 30 minutes
- Buffer system for unexpected expenses
- Methods for handling competing priorities
Developing Confidence
Months 4-5
By now, you're making faster decisions and feeling more certain about spending choices. We focus on refining your system, setting meaningful goals, and building routines that don't require constant willpower.
- Quick decision-making framework for daily choices
- Progress tracking system for bigger goals
- Streamlined processes that save time
Sustaining Habits
Month 6
The final phase prepares you to continue independently. We address how to maintain your system during major life changes, teach financial concepts to children, and build flexibility into your approach so it adapts as circumstances shift.
- Self-sufficient management skills
- Strategies for teaching kids about money
- Plans for adapting to future changes
What Participants Say
Honest feedback from families who completed the program in 2024.
I thought I needed complicated spreadsheets and financial software. Turns out, I just needed a clear method and someone to explain the basics without making me feel stupid. The tracking system we built takes me maybe twenty minutes a week now, and I actually know where our money goes.
My husband and I used to argue about spending constantly. The communication methods we learned changed that completely. We still disagree sometimes, but now we have a process for making decisions together instead of just reacting emotionally. That alone was worth the program cost.
