Teaching Real Money Skills That Actually Work

We've been helping Australians understand their finances since 2018. No fancy promises or get-rich-quick schemes — just practical education that makes budgeting less stressful and more effective.

Why We Started dylantorezix

Back in 2018, I kept meeting people who felt completely lost with their money. Smart folks who could handle complex jobs but panicked when looking at their bank statements.

The problem wasn't that they were bad with money. It was that nobody had taught them the basics in a way that made sense. Most financial advice either assumed you already knew everything or tried to sell you something expensive.

So we created dylantorezix to fill that gap. We focus on teaching one thing really well: how to adjust your budget when life changes. Because life always changes, and your budget needs to change with it.

We're not trying to make you rich overnight. We're trying to help you sleep better at night knowing where your money goes.

How We Actually Teach

Start Where You Are

We don't judge your current situation. Drowning in debt or just confused about savings — we meet you where you're at and work from there.

Real Examples

We use actual Australian scenarios. Rent increases in Melbourne, grocery prices in Perth, childcare costs in Sydney. Not theoretical numbers from overseas.

Practice First

You'll work through budget adjustments in class before trying them at home. Mistakes are cheaper to make with fake numbers than real ones.
