理財大師（自定進度）第 1 部分：金融概論！ (9-11)

**This class covers the same material as the ongoing course Master Money. If your learner has already taken Master Money, they do not need to take this course - the material is the same**

THERE ARE NO LIVE MEETINGS

This course will be perfect for young students 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. 

Since this is a flex class, students can participate during the days and times that work for them.

A discussion question will be posted in the classroom each week.
