Resources That Actually Help You Save
We've built a collection of practical guides, calculators, and worksheets that people use every day to make better financial decisions. Not theory. Just tools that work.
Downloadable guides and templates ready to use right now
Interactive calculators built from real Australian household data
New materials added based on what people actually ask us
Materials You'll Actually Open More Than Once
Look, we know you've downloaded financial guides before that you never touched again. So did we. That's why everything here is designed to be used, not just read.
Each resource comes from a real question or problem we've seen people struggle with. The budget tracker? That came from watching someone manage expenses in a notebook and wishing they had something better. The home deposit calculator? Built after the fifth time someone asked us "how long will this actually take?"
- All templates work in Google Sheets and Excel, whichever you prefer
- Guides written in plain language without finance jargon
- Everything's designed for Australian tax rates and cost of living
- Step-by-step instructions that assume you're starting from scratch
How We Build These Resources
Here's the thing about financial education materials - most of them are written by people who already understand money. We try to remember what it was like before we knew this stuff.
Start With Real Problems
Every resource begins with something we've heard people struggling with. Not hypothetical scenarios from textbooks. Actual conversations where someone said "I wish there was a way to..."
Test With Regular People
Before anything goes live, we hand it to friends, family, and community members. If they get confused, we rewrite it. If they don't use it, we figure out why and fix that.
Update Based on Feedback
People tell us when something doesn't work or could be better. We actually listen and update the materials. You'll notice version numbers and "last updated" dates on everything.
Keep Everything Current
Tax rates change. Interest rates move. Cost of living shifts. We review everything quarterly to make sure the numbers and advice still reflect reality in Australia right now.
Who Creates These Materials
The people behind these resources have spent years working with Australian households on their finances. More importantly, they remember what it felt like to be confused about money.
Callum Thorpe
Content Development Lead
Callum spent eight years as a high school maths teacher before moving into financial education. He's the reason our materials avoid unnecessarily complex formulas and focus on what actually matters to people trying to save money.
Sienna Viklund
Educational Resource Designer
Sienna designs the worksheets and calculators you'll actually want to use. She previously worked in UX design for banking apps, which explains why everything she creates feels intuitive rather than intimidating.
Start With the Materials That Match Where You're At
Our learning program, starting September 2025, will guide you through these resources in an order that makes sense. But you can also explore on your own and use whatever helps right now.
