A small weekly group, not a class

Nobody taught you this. So we will.

Budgeting, leases, credit, taxes, insurance, negotiating — the stuff college assumed someone else was covering. One real skill a week, worked through together in a room of six.

Six people maximum per group
$25 a month, three levels

Figured isn't a lecture and it isn't a webinar you mute halfway through. It's six people meeting once a week to work through one real adult problem at a time — the kind you'd otherwise learn by getting it wrong first.

1

One topic, start to finish. Every session covers exactly one thing — clearly, completely, no half-explanations.

2

Something to actually do. Each week ends with one specific action, not a list of things you'll forget by Friday.

3

A small enough room to matter. Six people max, so it's a conversation you're part of, not content you're consuming.

Three levels, six weeks each

Start wherever your life actually is right now. Each level runs six sessions and stands on its own.

Level one

Survive

For the first semester on your own, when everything is new and nothing is explained.

  • Where your money actually goes
  • Reading a lease before you sign it
  • What a credit card really costs
  • Feeding yourself for under $40 a week
  • What your health coverage covers
  • Having the money conversation you're avoiding
Level two

Stabilize

For once you've survived a semester and want systems, not scrambling.

  • A budget that survives real life
  • Your credit score, explained plainly
  • Filing taxes for the first time
  • Renter's insurance, in plain terms
  • Negotiating almost anything
  • Cleaning up your digital money habits
Level three

Build

For decisions now that are still paying off in twenty years.

  • Your first $1,000 invested
  • Reading a job offer properly
  • Student loans, the real numbers
  • Building a reputation before you graduate
  • Building credit strategically
  • Designing your financial life on purpose

What a session actually looks like

The worksheet

A short, specific exercise you work through live — not a handout you skim and forget.

The trick

One piece of practical, pragmatic knowledge that actually changes how you handle the topic.

The action

One specific thing you do before the group meets again. Small enough to finish, real enough to matter.
