Real People Teaching Real Budget Skills

We started ferqavison because we saw too many families struggling with money decisions that didn't have to be complicated. Our approach focuses on practical skills you can actually use.

Why We Do This Work

Back in 2018, I was sitting with a mate who'd just gotten his first proper job out of uni. He was earning decent money but somehow always seemed broke by the second week of each month. Sound familiar?

That conversation got me thinking about how many people leave school knowing algebra but have no clue how to set up a budget that actually works. We started ferqavison because there's a gap between the fancy financial advice you see online and what regular people need to know about managing their money.

Our programs aren't about getting rich quick or complex investment strategies. They're about understanding where your money goes, making plans that stick, and building habits that reduce financial stress. Because let's be honest — most money problems aren't really math problems.

How We Actually Teach This Stuff

Most financial education feels like sitting through a lecture about things you'll never actually do. We flip that around completely.

Our workshops start with your real situation — your actual income, your actual expenses, your actual financial headaches. Then we work through practical tools and strategies using your numbers, not some theoretical example.

  • Small group sessions where you can ask the questions you're actually wondering about
  • Hands-on practice with budgeting tools and apps that people really use
  • Follow-up support because changing money habits takes time
  • Real case studies from people who've been where you are now
