This course completely changed our family's financial situation. We went from living paycheck to paycheck to having a 3-month emergency fund in just 6 months. The budgeting templates alone are worth the price of admission. Sarah explains everything so clearly that even a financial novice like me could understand and implement the strategies.

I've tried several budgeting apps and methods in the past but always gave up after a few weeks. This course helped me understand why I was failing and provided practical solutions that actually stick. The section on irregular income was especially helpful for me as a freelancer. Highly recommend!

Great content and very practical approach. I removed one star because I would have liked more advanced content for those who already have basic budgeting knowledge. That said, I still learned several new techniques that I'm implementing. The community support is excellent too.
