We Believe Money Should Work For You
Since early 2023, we've been teaching people across Thailand how to take control of their finances through zero-based budgeting. Not because we have all the answers, but because we've seen what happens when you give every baht a job.
How This Started
NovonRebootOn wasn't born in a boardroom. It started with a conversation between two friends who'd both hit that point where payday felt more like stress-day. You know the feeling – checking your account balance and wondering where it all went.
We discovered zero-based budgeting almost by accident. Someone mentioned it at a workshop in Bangkok, and honestly, the name alone made it sound complicated. But when we actually tried it? Everything changed. Not overnight, obviously. It took a few months of adjusting and learning what worked for us.
By mid-2024, friends kept asking us how we'd gotten our finances sorted. After explaining the same concepts dozens of times, we figured maybe others needed this too. So we built NovonRebootOn as the resource we wish we'd had back then.
What Makes Our Approach Different
Real Numbers, Real Situations
We use actual scenarios from people living in Thailand. Not theoretical examples with perfect budgets. The messy stuff – unexpected repairs, family obligations, that friend's wedding you forgot about.
No Judgment Zone
Started late on savings? Behind on goals? Join the club. We focus on where you are now and where you want to go, without making you feel bad about past choices.
Flexible Framework
Zero-based budgeting is powerful, but we don't pretend there's only one right way to do it. Your life, your priorities, your system. We give you the tools and help you adapt them.
The People Behind NovonRebootOn
We're not financial gurus or investment experts. We're educators who got passionate about helping people understand their money better. Our backgrounds vary, but we share one thing – we've all been in that anxious place where money felt out of control.

What Guides Our Teaching
These aren't corporate values we put on a poster. They're actual principles we use when creating content, answering questions, and deciding what to teach next. Sometimes we disagree on the details, but these core ideas keep us aligned.
Start Where You Are
Your financial situation is unique. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions or shame-based motivation. Progress looks different for everyone, and that's okay.
Practice Before Theory
We teach by doing. You'll create your first budget in the first session, not after weeks of lectures. The concepts make way more sense when you're actually using them.
Community Matters
Managing money can feel isolating. Our group sessions let participants share struggles and wins with people who get it. Some of the best insights come from other learners, not from us.
Keep It Accessible
Fancy financial jargon doesn't make you smarter – it just makes people feel excluded. We explain things in plain language because budgeting should be available to everyone.
Our Commitment to You
We're not here to sell you complicated investment schemes or promise overnight wealth. We teach one thing really well – how to give every baht a purpose through zero-based budgeting. That's it. If you're ready to stop wondering where your money went and start telling it where to go, we'd love to work with you. Our next cohort starts in September 2025.
