Beginner Level
This is a Subscription and Self-Paced Course with no live meetings. However, students will have direct feedback on assignments. Understanding how to manage money through financial literacy is one of the toughest subjects teens and young adults will learn. Successfully managing money is a necessary life skill to help teens and young adults prepare for their futures. Learning these skills early on has the possibility to save years if not decades of financial strife if applied to their daily lives. Students will learn about banking, credit cards, interest rates, mortgages, student loans, and more. Course materials will include pre-recorded videos, and worksheets. I will be available by appointment and I am in the Central time zone.
