This course changed my relationship with money completely. For the first time, I feel in control of my finances instead of letting money control me. The templates alone are worth the price!

Very practical and easy to follow. I appreciate that the examples were relevant to life in Ghana. I've tried budgeting before but always failed - this approach finally worked for me.

I've taken several financial courses but this one was the most accessible. I loved the 30-day challenge - it really helped cement the habits. Already seeing improvements in my savings!
