§ 02 — The curriculum

Read one. Do one thing.

Each lesson ends with a single action small enough to finish today. Mark it complete and the progress bar remembers where you left off.

Personal finance is simply deciding, on purpose, where your money goes. Four moves make up the whole game: earn it, spend it, save it, grow it.

  • Money in minus money out equals your monthly cash flow. If that number is negative, nothing else works.
  • Write down every fixed bill first — rent, insurance, loans. Those are decisions you already made months ago.
  • What's left after bills and saving is genuinely yours to spend guilt-free.

Today's 10 minutes

List your take-home pay and your fixed bills. One page. That's your starting line.
