How the CAP Money Course can help

Hear from some of the people who have completed a CAP Money Course

Roughly speaking, yeah.
No. Roughly.
We know what’s going on but there’s very little in there.
Yeah, you have to keep up with it.
Definitely, you have to keep on top of things.
Hmm, no.
I think I’m overdrafted.
I know that they take quite a lot of money out that they shouldn’t.
Every year, over ten thousand people go through the CAP Money Course. It’s a simple system, it will help you control your money. And it really is important that you
get money under control. It’s so exciting to see literally thousands of lives transformed by this system. The good news is the CAP Money Course
will work for you. 

Before CAP Money, I was very disorganised with my money. I had wages coming in, bills going out, spends going out, treats on the kids going out, and not knowing where I was at on a regular basis; very disorganised. Since I’ve done the CAP Money Course, everything makes a little bit more sense. I can budget a lot better.
We’ve got money allocated for treats for the kids and stuff like that, so, everything is a lot easier now.

What I really liked about the CAP system was it really helped me to, kind of, break things down so I now have a home improvement fund.I have a fund for holidays, I have a fund for Christmas, I have a fund for birthdays, I have a fund for getting my hair cut. So it’s really helped me put things in order and I know exactly where everything is. I knew I wasn’t in a lot of debt, but, nevertheless it was something I put off. So CAP was fantastic because it meant that I could face up to the reality of what was coming in and what was going out.
