Built by Next Chapter Financial Coaching | The Margin Guarantee, 60 days to decide | One payment of $197

In 7 days, you'll have:

  • a clear picture of where your money goes
  • a list of leaks worth fixing first
  • a bill-to-paycheck map
  • a starter budget that works in real life
  • a 90-day plan tied to one real goal

You make money. But it still feels like it disappears.

Maybe you've tried:

  • budgeting apps
  • random spreadsheets
  • telling yourself you just need to spend less
  • starting over every few weeks

And maybe none of it has really stuck.

You're not alone if:

  • you feel like your paycheck disappears too fast
  • you know you're wasting money somewhere, but you're not sure where
  • you want to save, but something always seems to get in the way
  • you feel like you should be further along by now
  • you're tired of avoiding your numbers and hoping next month feels different

Spending less is only part of it. The bigger win is getting clear on:

  • where your money is going
  • what's quietly draining it
  • what to change first
  • and how to build a system that works in real life

Why budgeting hasn't stuck before

For most people, the problem isn't a lack of effort.

It's that they've been trying to fix money backwards.

They start with pressure and guilt and a vague promise to have more discipline next month.

But real progress usually starts somewhere else:

1
first, you need to see where your money is going
2
then, you need to find the leaks
3
then, you need to lower the cost of normal life
4
then, you need to line up bills with paychecks
5
then, you need a simple plan you can actually use

That's the order Find Your Margin follows. Each day does one thing. By Day 7, you have a system you can actually keep.

You won't be tracking every penny forever. The point is clarity, some breathing room, and a plan you'll keep using.

What you'll get

  • 10 short lesson videos

What happens in 7 days

Welcome: Start Here

How the program works, what to expect, and how to set yourself up to actually finish.

Day 0: Setup + Choose Goal Path

Get organized, choose your main money goal, and start with clarity instead of overwhelm.

You'll leave with: a clear goal track (Debt Relief, Emergency Fund, Home Savings, or Retirement Starter) and your reason for doing this, written down.

Day 1: Money Snapshot

See where you stand by mapping income, fixed bills, debt minimums, and savings.

You'll leave with: a one-page Spending Snapshot Dashboard showing your real numbers and pre-flexible margin.

Day 2: Subscription + Recurring Charge Audit

Find the money leaving on autopilot and decide what to keep, pause, cancel, or downgrade.

You'll leave with: a populated Subscription Audit Tool and an estimated monthly savings number.

Day 3: Everyday Spending Leak Finder

Spot the spending patterns that are quietly costing you the most.

You'll leave with: a Spending Leak Heatmap ranking your top 3 leak categories and a weekly cap for the biggest one.

Day 4: Lower the Cost of Normal Life

Find realistic ways to reduce everyday costs without making life miserable.

You'll leave with: a Grocery Reset Planner, a Takeout Backup Plan, and three cost-lowering commitments.

Day 5: Bill Timing + Budget Build

Map bills to paychecks and build a starter budget that works in real life. (Heavier session, so plan about an hour.)

You'll leave with: a Bill-to-Paycheck Calendar and a Starter Budget that fits your income.

Day 6: Put the Saved Money to Work

Choose where your freed-up money should go based on your biggest current goal.

You'll leave with: a Goal Path Plan with monthly contribution, target amount, and timeline.

Day 7: Make It Stick for 90 Days

Build a simple follow-through system so you don't end up right back where you started.

You'll leave with: a 90-Day Action Plan (your goal path, top 30-day priority, check-in day and time, reset date, Day 6 automation, and your 30, 60 and 90-day actions) and a four-part routine: a 10-minute weekly check-in, a 30-minute monthly reset, if-then plans, and a recovery plan for overspend weeks.

Bonus: What to Do If You're Still Short This Month

If things are still tight right now, you'll get a calm short-term triage plan. Bill prioritization, hardship scripts, what to call first, what to defer.

Who this is for

This is for you if...

  • you make money but still feel like it disappears
  • you want to get out of debt, build savings, buy a home, or finally start retirement progress
  • you've tried budgeting before, but it never really stuck
  • you want something practical, not preachy
  • you want a real system, not random tips
  • you're ready to take action, even if you don't have everything perfectly organized yet

This is probably not for you if...

  • you want advanced investing education
  • you want a complex financial planning program
  • you're looking for legal, tax, or investment advice
  • you're not willing to look honestly at your spending
  • you want someone else to do the work for you

This is for people who want a clear picture of their money and a practical next step. Members also get a say in what changes next.

About the course creator

Greg Raphan's clients have, on average, found about $1,000 in their newly available monthly budget after working with him. Individual results vary. He's a Certified Financial Coach and the founder of Next Chapter Financial Coaching. He started the practice after paying off more than $100,000 in personal debt, which taught him how big the gap is between knowing what to do with money and having a system that actually fits real life. Greg built Find Your Margin to put that system in reach for people who want clarity without committing to one-on-one coaching.

Frequently asked questions

Who built this? +
Find Your Margin was created by Next Chapter Financial Coaching, a financial coaching practice founded by Greg Raphan, a Certified Financial Coach. See "About the course creator" above for the full bio.
What if I've tried budgeting before and it never sticks? +
That's exactly why this product exists. This isn't built like a traditional budgeting course. It helps you find leaks, lower pressure, map bills to paychecks, and build a simpler plan you can actually follow.
Is this just a bunch of spreadsheets? +
No. The spreadsheets are tools inside a guided process. You'll also get 10 short video lessons, a 34-page workbook, scripts, and a 90-day system so the product feels like a real reset, not a file bundle.
How long will this take each day? +
Most days take 20 to 35 minutes. Day 5 is the heavier session, so plan about an hour for the bill-timing map and starter budget build. Day 7 takes about 45 minutes. Everything is self-paced and you can split a day across two sittings.
Do I need to be good with spreadsheets? +
No. The tools are designed to be simple and guided. This is for people who want clarity, not complexity.
Can I do this on my phone? +
You can watch lessons and use the workbook on mobile, but some of the Google Sheets tools will be easier on desktop or tablet.
What if my finances are messy? +
That's okay. You don't need perfect numbers or a perfect situation to benefit from this. Start with what you know and improve as you go.
Is this coaching? +
No. This is a self-paced digital product. It's designed to stand on its own. If you want more personalized help later, you can book a free Financial Freedom Assessment with one of our coaches.
What if I fall behind? +
Self-paced, with lifetime access. The Bonus module exists for exactly this. If you're behind because money is tight, that module gives you a calm triage plan to use right now.
Will this tell me exactly how much I can save? +
No specific number is promised. The program is designed to help you uncover realistic spending leaks, lower recurring costs, and create a better plan for the money you do have. Greg's coaching clients have, on average, found about $1,000 in their newly available monthly budget after working with him directly, but individual results vary. If it doesn't find you at least what you paid in savings for the next 60 days, the Margin Guarantee refunds the purchase price.
Why $197? +
Because it's built to pay for itself. The seven days are designed to turn up savings larger than the price, and if they don't, the Margin Guarantee refunds you in full.
Do I keep access if I stop? +
Yes. One purchase, lifetime access. The workbook, sheets, lesson videos, and scripts are yours forever.

The honest objections

"I can probably figure this out on my own."

You probably could piece parts of this together for free.

But free advice is usually scattered. This product gives you:

  • the right order
  • the right tools
  • the right decisions
  • and a finish line

That's what makes it valuable.

"I don't want another money product I never use."

That's fair. This was built to avoid that exact problem. It's short, structured, action-focused, and designed to help you create visible wins fast.

"I don't have enough money to spend on this right now."

That concern makes sense. The program exists to help you find leaks and create breathing room, so at $197 it only has to turn up one or two monthly leaks to pay for itself. If it doesn't, the Margin Guarantee gets your money back.

"I don't want something that makes me feel judged."

Neither do we. The whole tone is calm and practical, with no guilt. The goal is clarity and a way forward.

"How do I know this is legit?"

Built by Next Chapter Financial Coaching, a financial coaching practice founded by Greg Raphan, a Certified Financial Coach.

You don't need a perfect money system right now.

You need a clear next step.
