About our approach

At Caminopositiva, we explore real financial situations that Argentine families face every day. From managing unexpected expenses to planning long-term goals, our focus is on practical and accessible solutions that any household can implement.

We work with concrete cases: families needing to reorganize their budget after a medical emergency, couples seeking to balance economic responsibilities without conflict, or households wanting to build a savings fund without sacrificing their current quality of life. Each situation is unique, but the principles of financial balance are universal.

Our materials include step-by-step analysis of real situations, self-assessment tools like interactive quizzes, and downloadable resources that facilitate immediate implementation of financial strategies. We believe financial knowledge should be accessible, understandable, and applicable to the daily life of every family.

Family budget planning

Real cases analyzed

Recovery after unexpected expense

A family of four faced an urgent home repair that consumed most of their savings. Discover how they reorganized their monthly budget and recovered stability in six months.

Initial situation

The González family, consisting of two adults and two school-age children, encountered a severe roof leak that required an immediate investment of $180,000 pesos. This amount represented 85% of their emergency fund accumulated over two years.

Implemented strategy

  1. Emergency fund review: They used $150,000 from the fund and negotiated a 3-month payment plan for the remaining $30,000 with the contractor.
  2. Fixed payment prioritization: They kept essential services, rent, and education up to date, postponing variable expenses like entertainment and outings.
  3. Deadline negotiation: They contacted non-essential service providers to adjust payment dates and avoid surcharges.
  4. Temporary elimination of non-essential expenses: For two months they suspended streaming subscriptions, reduced restaurant outings, and limited impulse purchases.

Results obtained

In six months, the family managed to rebuild their emergency fund to $120,000 pesos through monthly savings of $20,000. They implemented an automatic savings system that transfers 15% of their monthly income to a separate account each time they receive their salary.

Key learning: The combination of a prior emergency fund and the ability to quickly adjust expenses allowed them to overcome the crisis without additional debt. Automatic saving ensures discipline without depending on monthly willpower.

Equitable division as a couple

A couple with different incomes found tension when dividing household expenses. Learn about the system they implemented to achieve equity without recurring conflicts.

Initial situation

Martín and Laura had been living together for three years, with monthly incomes of $250,000 and $180,000 respectively. Disagreements arose when dividing expenses in half, as Laura felt her contribution represented a larger proportion of her salary, while Martín considered 50-50 fair.

Implemented system

  1. Proportional shared budget: They calculated that common monthly expenses totaled $200,000. They decided to contribute proportionally according to income: Martín 58% ($116,000) and Laura 42% ($84,000).
  2. Specific joint account: They opened a bank account exclusively for household expenses where each deposits their agreed percentage on the 5th of each month.
  3. Clear roles by category: Martín assumed services, rent, and large purchases. Laura manages groceries, cleaning products, and small daily expenses. Both review variable expenses together.
  4. Brief monthly meetings: Every last Sunday of the month they dedicate 30 minutes to review expenses, adjust the budget if there were changes in income, and plan large purchases for the next month.
  5. Simple written agreements: They documented categories, amounts, and responsible parties in a shared spreadsheet, visible to both at any time.

Results obtained

After three months, money-related conflicts decreased by 90%. Both reported feeling more calm and fair with the system. Additionally, they managed to save jointly $40,000 monthly for shared goals like vacations and new furniture.

Key learning: Financial equity in a couple doesn't mean mathematical equality, but proportionality according to capacity. Transparency and regular communication prevent misunderstandings and strengthen mutual trust in economic decisions.

Small changes, big savings

A household identified consumption habits that drained their budget unnoticed. Learn what simple adjustments generated monthly savings of $35,000 pesos without affecting their quality of life.

Initial situation

The Rodríguez family felt their income of $320,000 monthly wasn't enough, despite not having significant debts. When analyzing their expenses, they discovered multiple small "leaks" that added up to considerable amounts.

Identified habits and adjustments made

  1. Forgotten subscriptions: They canceled three streaming services used less than once a month, a gym membership unused for six months, and a digital magazine subscription. Monthly savings: $8,500.
  2. Unplanned purchases: They implemented weekly grocery lists based on a planned menu. They reduced visits from 4 to 2 per week, eliminating impulse purchases. Monthly savings: $12,000.
  3. Meals outside home: They limited delivery orders to twice a week (previously five). They prepared lunch boxes for work lunches. Monthly savings: $9,500.
  4. Brand products vs generics: They switched to generic brands for basic products like rice, oil, sugar, cleaning products, where the quality difference is minimal. Monthly savings: $5,000.

Tracking system

They created a simple table where they note weekly savings achieved. Every Friday they transfer that amount to a separate savings account. In three months they accumulated $105,000 which they allocated to renovating appliances that consumed a lot of electricity, generating additional savings on services.

Key learning: Small recurring expenses are invisible until documented. Auditing consumption habits monthly allows identifying savings opportunities without sacrificing wellbeing. Automatic saving of the recovered amount ensures the money is preserved for important goals.
