Short-Term Budgeting Workshop
Master practical money management for everyday life
Look, most budgeting advice tries to cover everything at once. That's why people get overwhelmed and quit. We're focusing on what actually matters — getting your next three months sorted. Real tools. Real examples. And skills you'll use immediately.

Why Short-Term Focus?
Because life happens in weeks and months, not decades. You need to know if you can afford that car repair next month, whether taking that weekend trip is realistic, or how to handle an unexpected bill without panic.
This twelve-week program runs from August through October 2025. We meet Thursday evenings at our Bendigo location. You'll learn to build rolling three-month budgets that actually flex with your life. No complicated spreadsheets that take hours to maintain.
Each session builds on real scenarios from participants. Someone's dealing with irregular income? We'll work through it together. Another person has variable childcare costs? That becomes a teaching moment for everyone.
What You'll Actually Learn
Six core modules that form your complete budgeting foundation
Income Mapping
Track what's really coming in. Handle irregular payments, side gigs, and seasonal work without the guesswork.
Fixed vs Variable
Sort your expenses into categories that make sense. Stop treating every cost the same way.
Buffer Building
Create breathing room between you and unexpected costs. Small steps that add up fast.
Decision Framework
When to spend, when to wait. Build your own rules based on your priorities, not generic advice.
Adjustment Skills
Your budget will need tweaking. Learn to adjust quickly without starting from scratch each time.
Future Planning
Connect short-term budgets to bigger goals. Keep tomorrow in mind while handling today.
