The Power of Interest
Young adults making important decisions regarding their future. This includes choosing a major and a career path, learning to design a budget, choose an education and how to pay for it.
The first half of the course explores career paths and majors that are a good fit with your unique personality. Once you choose an interest, we explore the education needed, the cost of that education and if it is a good return on your investment. From there, we use the information from the first half of the course to help you in the second half, The Currency Conundrum.
Absolutely everyone can benefit from this course. We've had many college graduates say, "I wish I'd taken this years earlier, I learned so much." We help students build a budget by choosing a home, an automobile and making critical decisions on leasing or buying. We work through the power of interest, bank accounts, credit cards, writing checks, filling out deposit slips and learning how to become financially healthy by utilizing the power of compound interest.
Depending on your setting, this course can take as short as a few weeks for an individual and as long as a school semester when used as curriculum.
