Family budgeting,
made practical
Ridafiy workshops give you hands-on tools for managing household finances — not theory, but exercises you apply to your own numbers the same week.
What we offer
Workshops built around real household decisions
Monthly Budget Workshop
Build a working budget from your actual income and fixed costs. Covers envelope allocation, irregular expenses, and a monthly review habit you can maintain without spreadsheet expertise.
- Income and expense mapping exercise
- Spending category templates
- Monthly reset checklist
- Live Q&A with the facilitator
Savings Goal Planning
Set a specific target — a car, a home repair, a family trip — and work backwards to a weekly saving amount that fits your current income without cutting essentials.
- Goal-sizing calculator exercise
- Priority ranking method
- Progress tracking sheet
Debt Reduction Track
Map outstanding balances and interest rates, then choose a repayment sequence that reduces total cost — not just minimum payments — within your household cash flow.
How a workshop session runs
Each session is structured so you leave with something you can use immediately — not notes to review later.
Orientation
Review the week's topic and collect your own figures — income, fixed bills, recent variable spending.
Guided exercise
Work through a structured task with a provided template. The facilitator walks each step in real time.
Group check-in
Share one result or question with the group. Hearing different household situations clarifies your own thinking.
Take-home task
Apply one specific change to your finances before the next session — small enough to be realistic, concrete enough to measure.

"Before the workshop I had no idea where €400 a month was going. After the first exercise I found three recurring charges I'd forgotten about. That alone paid for the course."
Aoife Brennan
Monthly Budget Workshop participant
"The debt reduction session was the first time someone explained interest stacking in a way that made sense for my actual numbers. Changed how I prioritise payments."
Ciarán Forde
Debt Reduction Track participant
"Doing this remotely meant I could go through the exercises at the kitchen table with my partner. That context made the conversations about money much easier."
