A total that exists but is never printed 3
True cost more than double the headline 5
Catching yourself before a money decision and naming the real reason 10

The 9 weeks

One module per week. Each runs the same four parts: a short video, a task with a checkable answer, the scored round, and one slice of the thing they are building.

  1. 0 Setup and rules Money is decisions, not weather. The ledger starts here.
  2. 1 Where money comes from Three doors — time, something you made, something you own.
  3. 2 Every rand has a job A rand with no job already has one, and it is spend.
  4. 3 The real price The big number on the poster is rarely the whole price.
  5. 4 Pricing what you make A price has a floor. Beginners stand on the floor.
  6. 5 Where money sleeps Every place money sits takes something.
  7. 6 Debt, tax, and grown-up bills Compounding and bills adults pay — seen safely on paper.
  8. 7 Tax and being legit You have been paying tax since you were small. Being legit is a door.
  9. 8 Making it real A traced number is the difference between a plan and a wish.

What they hand in

Portfolio artefact, measurement log, and disclosure account — portfolio-ready for interviews or first clients.

Questions about Finance — FET

Is this the same as the Senior unit?

Same spine and mechanic, band-adjusted depth. Senior goes further on money learners may not legally touch yet at Grade 5.
