Why does financial education feel so disconnected from actual life? Back in 2021, we sat around a table in Mandurah and talked about the gap between theory and reality. Not the theoretical stuff you'd find in textbooks, but the everyday choices people wrestle with.
That conversation turned into rumnexviare. We're not here to promise you'll get rich or master the stock market in six weeks. Instead, we focus on something more grounded – helping you make better financial decisions in contexts that actually matter to your life.
Our approach comes from years of watching people struggle with choices that shouldn't be so confusing. Mortgage decisions, super contributions, budgeting that doesn't feel like punishment. The kind of stuff that keeps you up at night but doesn't fit neatly into conventional finance courses.
Financial advice isn't one-size-fits-all, and we've never pretended it is. Your situation includes things most programs ignore – family dynamics, career uncertainty, regional differences. We build our programs around these realities rather than abstract principles.
We cap our programs at twelve participants. This isn't a marketing gimmick – we've found that meaningful conversation about money needs trust, and trust needs time. You'll work through scenarios with people facing similar challenges, which changes how learning happens.
Our programs focus on working through decisions in low-stakes environments first. You'll analyse mortgage scenarios, debate super strategies, and question budget assumptions before you're sitting across from a bank manager or financial advisor with real money on the line.
Two people with different backgrounds who got tired of watching financial education miss the point.
Financial Education Lead
Ingrid spent twelve years in financial planning before getting frustrated with how little clients retained from standard advice sessions. She rebuilt our curriculum around decision frameworks rather than information dumps, and tests every module with real participants before it goes live.
Learning Design Director
Declan came from educational psychology and adult learning research. He pushes back whenever we slip into jargon or assume prior knowledge. His background in behavioural science shapes how we structure decision exercises and group discussions throughout our programs.
We run programs three times yearly – autumn, winter, and spring sessions in 2025. Each runs for ten weeks with evening sessions that respect your schedule. You won't find massive lecture halls or pre-recorded videos here.
Our next intake opens in August 2025, with programs starting in September. We focus on practical financial decision-making that applies to Australian contexts – super, property decisions, tax considerations, insurance choices. The kind of things you actually need to figure out.
This isn't about getting certified or adding credentials. It's about making better choices with your money in situations that matter to your life. If that sounds useful, we'd be glad to talk through whether our approach fits what you need.
