Learn a great way to spend, save, and budget wisely. We are pleased to be able to offer another free CAP budgeting course for people in South Wellington. The 3 sessions will put you in control of your money, whether you have a lot or a little.

Our previous course was a big success going by the reviews we got. There are no catches - we run the course because we believe people should get the most out of their income and remain debt free. It is totally confidential - only you can access your data.

The CAP budgeting course gives you use of a free spreadsheet that allows you to plan your spending for as long as you want to use it. Thousands of Kiwi's, as well as people in England, Australia, and Canada have benefitted from the course.
