The Problem We Address
Purchasing a first home in Argentina requires sustained savings effort over extended periods. This proves difficult not because people lack financial knowledge, but because maintaining behavioral discipline against economic volatility, daily temptations, and periodic discouragement requires external structure that most individuals do not naturally possess.
Traditional financial education provides information. Our coaching provides accountability, methodology, and peer support—the elements that translate knowledge into sustained action.
Why Group Dynamics Matter
Individual coaching addresses personal circumstances but lacks the accountability and perspective that emerge from shared experience. Group coaching creates an environment where participants:
- Report progress to peers, not just a coach
- Learn from others facing similar challenges
- Develop realistic expectations through peer comparison
- Maintain motivation through collective momentum
The group format proves particularly effective for savings discipline because it normalizes the struggle and celebrates incremental progress.
Our Coaching Philosophy
We operate from several foundational principles that distinguish our approach from other financial guidance services:
Behavioral Focus
We address habits, routines, and decision patterns rather than investment strategies. Changing behavior proves more valuable than optimizing returns for most first-time savers.
Realistic Expectations
We work with participants' actual financial situations, not idealized scenarios. Plans must accommodate real income variability and expense patterns.
Clear Boundaries
We explicitly define what we do not provide: property advice, financial product recommendations, or savings management. This clarity prevents misaligned expectations.
Methodological Neutrality
We teach methods for expense tracking, goal setting, and progress monitoring without prescribing specific tools or products. Participants choose their own implementation.
Why Eight Sessions
The program structure reflects deliberate design choices based on behavioral change requirements:
Biweekly frequency provides sufficient time between sessions for participants to implement techniques and experience results, while maintaining continuity that prevents momentum loss.
Four-month duration allows participants to encounter and navigate at least one complete cycle of monthly expenses, unexpected costs, and temptation periods while still within the support structure.
Fixed endpoint creates urgency and commitment. Open-ended programs often fail because participants defer difficult decisions indefinitely.

The Argentine Context
Our program specifically addresses challenges unique to Argentina's economic environment. High inflation rates, currency instability, and limited formal savings instruments create obstacles that generic financial advice fails to address adequately.
We do not claim expertise in macroeconomic forecasting or currency management. Instead, we focus on behavioral strategies that maintain savings discipline regardless of broader economic conditions—techniques for adjusting targets, managing discouragement, and maintaining progress visibility when inflation obscures nominal gains.
Limitations and Honest Disclosure
Effective coaching requires acknowledging what we cannot control or influence:
We cannot guarantee that participants will reach their savings goals. Success depends on individual circumstances, economic conditions, and sustained personal effort beyond our sessions.
We cannot prevent unexpected expenses or life changes that derail savings plans. We can only provide tools for adaptation and recovery.
We cannot replace professional financial, legal, or tax advice when participants need specialized guidance for specific decisions.
This honesty about limitations builds trust and sets realistic expectations that increase overall satisfaction with the coaching experience.
