Half-day session

Small group format

Facilitated practice

Creating a savings timeline for major upcoming costs

Planning for: furniture, rent deposit, birth expenses, baby supplies

Building a simple emergency fund approach

Practicing difficult money conversations in a safe setting

Tools for revisiting your budget regularly as a couple

Small group size

Sessions are kept intentionally small so the facilitator can give attention to each couple and the conversation stays meaningful. You're not in a lecture — you're working.

Come prepared

You'll get the most out of the workshop if you bring a rough idea of your monthly income and main expenses. No need to have everything organized — that's what the session is for.

Conducted in Spanish

Workshops are facilitated in Spanish. All materials, worksheets, and exercises are in Spanish, reflecting the local context of young couples in Paraguay.

In-person in Ciudad del Este

Sessions are held in person at our location in Ciudad del Este. The in-person format is intentional — it creates the focused environment that makes these conversations possible.

Who Attends

This workshop is a good fit if…

You're planning a wedding

Marriage brings financial decisions that affect both of you permanently. Getting aligned before the ceremony is far easier than after.

You're moving in together

Sharing a home means sharing expenses, financial habits, and financial decisions. Starting with a clear framework makes everything smoother.

You're expecting your first child

A new baby brings significant and often unexpected costs. Planning before the birth gives you a head start and reduces financial stress during an already intense time.

You've never talked about money seriously

You don't need to have a problem to benefit from this workshop. Many couples attend simply to build a solid foundation before one develops.
