Embark on a journey to financial empowerment in my ongoing Outschool class, where we explore the intricacies of Personal Finance and its direct relevance to your life. Personal Finance is the key to a successful life beyond your parents' home, encompassing the pursuit of your unique financial goals, whether it's saving for a car, funding your college education, or planning for retirement (yes, it's never too early to start!).

Your actions, aspirations, and necessities all hinge on your income, expenses, and individual goals. Join me each week as we delve into specific topics related to Personal Finance. The best part? You can join at any time, as this class is cyclical, with each session standing alone.
