Weekly Budget Learning Resources
Real documents and practical worksheets built from actual client experiences across Bangkok and Chon Buri. These aren't theoretical exercises—they're tested approaches to managing weekly spending cycles.
View Program DetailsDigital Resource Library
We started compiling these materials back in 2023 when clients kept asking for templates. Now we have spreadsheets that actually work, PDF guides without fluff, and video walkthroughs that don't waste time.
Weekly Tracking Spreadsheets
Excel templates with formulas already set up. You just enter your numbers. Includes versions for freelancers, salaried workers, and small business owners. Each version handles irregular income differently.
Expense Category Guides
PDF breakdowns showing how different professionals split their weekly money. Restaurant workers have different patterns than office employees. These show what actually works for people in Thailand.
Emergency Buffer Calculators
Tools that help you figure out how much cash to keep available each week. Takes into account your income timing, fixed bills, and typical unexpected costs. No complicated formulas to learn.
Weekly Review Checklists
Simple checklists for Sunday evenings or whatever day you prefer. Takes about 15 minutes to review your week and set up the next one. Includes prompts for spotting spending patterns.
Income Timing Worksheets
For people who get paid irregularly or have multiple income sources. Helps map out which money comes when, so you can plan weekly allocations that actually match your cash flow.
Adjustment Scenario Guide
What to do when your plan doesn't work. Covers common situations like unexpected medical costs, income drops, or big opportunities. Practical next steps instead of starting over.
How People Actually Use These
Most folks start with the basic tracking spreadsheet. They use it for maybe three weeks, realize what categories matter for their situation, then customize it. That's fine—that's how it should work.
The guides aren't meant to be read cover-to-cover. People usually jump to the section that matches their current problem. Someone dealing with variable income goes straight to that chapter. Office workers might never need it.
The review checklist gets the most consistent use. People print it or keep it on their phone. Sunday evening or Monday morning, they spend a few minutes with coffee looking at what happened last week.
