includedClass Experience
** THIS IS A SELF PACED CLASS, THERE ARE NO LIVE MEETINGS** This course covers the same content as my other class (Highschool Finance for Teens), but in a SELF PACED format.** This course will be perfect for teens who are interested in learning more about personal finance. All of the information learned in this class will be practical and applicable to daily life. Please review the weekly syllabus to review the topic we will be covering. Since this is a flex class, students can participate during the days and times that work for them! Weekly videos will be posted on Monday mornings, and students can watch these lectures on their own time. Videos will be anywhere between 15-25 minutes each. There will also be a discussion question provided, and if requested I can provide a link for a kahoot quiz each week. Important Notes : -I am based in the US. While I will try to do my best to explain concepts relevant to other countries, my degree and knowledge base are not necessarily in global finance. All examples in this class will be provided using US dollars. -This class is purely for educational purposes and NOT to be used as financial advise.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of basic personal finance knowledge.
