Description
Rask’s Money & Budgeting: The Complete Guide is designed for Aussies who want to ‘kickstart’ their finances, get in the right lane and supercharge their journey to financial independence (FI) — ASAP.
We’re confident people who take this course and action all of the steps could save (or make) tens of thousands of dollars — at least.
For example, did you know the difference between a bad Super fund and a good one could be equivalent to 13 years of lost wages for a 21-year-old? This course provides the basics and steps required to make simple and easy — but life-changing — decisions to improve your finances, including:
- Paying down debt
- Sticking to a budget that’s simple
- Understanding what investing is and how it works for normal people
- All of the basics and need-to-know terms for sorting out Super, insurance and Wills
- The basics of tax in Australia
While we say this is a beginner’s program it covers just about everything you will want to know about these topic areas to make educated decisions, engage with a professional with confidence and help to set yourself up for financial success.

Fantastic course. Very informative
Sandri Jonker (verified owner) –
I really liked it, it’s all the basic information I required to set me up to start thinking about my personal finances. The best part of all, I have felt like this shit is above me since I left school and that it was for someone else to worry about. (Im now 25 – how embarrasing). Honestly I would even go as far as to say I found it empowering.
Owen Raszkiewicz –
You’re a legend, Sandri. Well done and thanks for taking the time to say such nice things.
Onwards and upwards!

I’m glad I took this course. I had completed the Superannuation one and gained so much from it, and I was intending to go straight to the Beginners Investing course (what I actually came looking for in the first place), I thought ‘I’m pretty good with budgeting and money, it might not be the best use of my time’, but it really was. It is such a great comprehensive guide and I would highly recommend it to anyone. And now I just think I’ll be even more set up to breeze through the investing course. Thank you!
chemar (verified owner) –
Informative and really easy to follow. Will be looking at more courses.
Jamie Hepburn (verified owner) –
Great course that covered all of the basics, glad this resource is available for free. Great to go over some things I already knew and investigate some of the topics I knew less about. Will be enrolling in further courses to continue the learning process. Thanks Owen!
tatiana (verified owner) –
I am very greatful for this valuable free course – as I am a beginner and immigrant, most of the concepts were new to me but it has given the clarity I was looking for (and for free).
Thank you!

Thanks Jean! So pleased to hear we covered every aspect that you needed! Cheers to building your future a solid financial foundation ~ Tahlia
kirstsco (verified owner) –
Smashed it in one sitting. Very easy to digest, and easy to understand. As someone who’s already had a few of these steps checked off, it was validating to see that I had started down the right path and was on my way. There is valuable information for setting up a budget for investing (who knew it could include a holiday) and then the basics of getting started with investing.
Tahlia Zanjani (verified owner) –
Boom! One sitting – love this, nothing like ripping the bandaid off and getting it done. I hope you’ve managed that holiday since! Cheers to your financial future ~ Tahlia

luke.richo (verified owner) –
I wish I had discovered this course before I started taking control of my finances, it explains every aspect of money in a really understandable way. Having said that, I still learned quite a lot and am glad I took it!

Kris Koci (verified owner) –
Clear, compact but comprehensive. Great humour also included, much to learn!
ranoz (verified owner) –
All adults must be forced to take this course! It has a lot of crucial information.
John Pescod (verified owner) –
Though I’d like to think I’m beyond a beginner in terms of personal finance knowledge compared to most Australians, having read and completed all of Rask education’s free online courses out of curiosity (and as a personal sense check), I must say this course is by the far best one of the lot – and I too learnt some new tips and tricks.
I’ll definitely be recommending this one to my friends who are not as finance savvy as myself – and are tired of hearing me rabbiting on at gatherings that they need to get their orders in check!
Don Ricardo (verified owner) –
Excellent course!
Belinda Blackburn (verified owner) –

Belinda Blackburn (verified owner) –
They should teach this in schools. You made everything easy to understand and fun along the way.
Owen West (verified owner) –
Great set of information across all kinds of money + investing areas. Really excellent information, easily presented in nicely digestible chunks. Not overwhelming (and there is a lot of info so could easily be overwhelmed). Best course of this kind I’ve seen, plus it’s free! Wish a lot of this info was taught in schools.
nstapleton23 (verified owner) –
Good Information and good easily explained course. Some information I already knew but always good to re learn.
Nick Rose (verified owner) –
Excellent course. I’m going to recommend this to my soon to be 18yr old son!
ttaylor (verified owner) –
Great starting course that covers all the basics. As someone who came from a family that never had any money growing up, I now struggle to manage our family finances. I now feel ready to tackle our debt and try to build our net worth for our family’s future.
Dee San (verified owner) –
This is such a great course that covers so much ground. Just enough so that it’s not overwhelming and touches on so many areas. Thanks so much for this thoughtfully created course and making it available for free. I am learning so much through Rask Education.
