Building Better Financial Futures Through Education

We started with a simple observation — people don't need more budget apps, they need to understand why their money behaves the way it does.

Since opening our doors in early 2023, we've worked with individuals and families across South Korea to reshape how they think about spending priorities. Not through strict rules or complicated spreadsheets, but through practical frameworks that actually fit real life.

Our Beginning

From Frustration to Foundation

The idea came from watching too many friends struggle with the same pattern. They'd create elaborate budgets in January, stick to them for maybe six weeks, then quietly abandon the whole system by March. The problem wasn't discipline or willpower.

It was that traditional budgeting treats all expenses the same. A coffee habit gets the same scrutiny as rent. Birthday gifts compete with groceries. Everything becomes a moral judgment instead of a practical choice.

We built pulse-cast around a different framework. One that helps people identify what genuinely matters to them, then structures their finances to support those priorities. Some months that means saying yes to expensive concert tickets and no to new clothes. Other months it flips entirely.

What Drives Our Work

These aren't corporate values we put on a wall. They're the principles that shape every program we create and every conversation we have with participants.

Reality Over Theory

Financial advice that ignores your actual life circumstances isn't advice — it's fantasy. We start with where you are, not where textbooks say you should be.

Flexibility as Strategy

Rigid systems break when life happens. We teach adaptive frameworks that bend without collapsing when unexpected expenses appear or priorities shift.

Learning Through Doing

Reading about budget prioritization doesn't change behavior. Working through real decisions with actual money does. Our programs focus on practical application from day one.

People Behind the Programs

Small team, focused mission. We're educators and facilitators who happen to know a lot about personal finance, not financial advisors trying to teach.

Mirae Seon

Program Director

Spent eight years teaching economics before realizing most people don't need macro theory — they need to figure out whether they can afford a bigger apartment. Designs all our core curriculum and leads most of our advanced workshops. Has strong opinions about expense tracking apps.

Daeun Kang

Learning Experience Lead

Former corporate trainer who got tired of teaching people skills they'd never actually use. Now focuses on creating exercises that mirror real financial decisions. Obsessed with making complex concepts feel obvious in hindsight. Responds to every email within 24 hours.

Our Method

How We Actually Work With People

Our programs run over several months because changing how you think about money takes longer than a weekend workshop. We're building new mental models, not just sharing tips.

Start With Current Patterns

First month focuses entirely on observation. Track spending without judgment, identify where money actually goes versus where you think it goes. Most people are surprised by the gap.
Build Priority Frameworks

Then we work on categorizing expenses by personal importance, not just necessity. This is where the real thinking happens. What do you value enough to protect in your budget even when money gets tight?
Test and Adjust Systems

Final months involve living with your new approach and troubleshooting what doesn't work. Systems look good on paper but break under real conditions. We help you adapt until you find something sustainable.
