Like most great investments, Money Mapping is frontloaded.

It takes a bit more time to set up — but once you’re up and running, maintenance is quick and easy.

🛠️ Upfront Setup

Depending on how complex your financial world is (and whether you use Moolah or go manual), expect to spend:

🕐 2.5 to 8 hours total

This includes learning and completing the 5 skills:

1. Creating your vision and goals

2. Listing your assets and debts

3. Tracking your income and spending

4. Forecasting cashflow

5. Mapping income each month

💡 Using the Moolah App will streamline setup and reduce time significantly.
Pen, paper, and spreadsheets can work — but will usually put you at the higher end of that range.

🔁 Ongoing Maintenance (aka Course Correction)

Every month — around 20 minutes

🕙 Income Mapping: 10 mins

🕙 Tracking Progress: 10 mins

Every quarter — around 1 hour

🕧 Goal Review & Updates: 30 mins

🕧 Forecast Adjustment: 30 mins

If you can commit to a few focused hours upfront and a short check-in each month, you’ll stay on track and in control — even as life shifts around you.

Inside the Moolah app, we’ve designed the entire system to fit this rhythm — so you can build financial momentum without it taking over your life.
