ONLINE FINANCIAL LITERACY CLASSES

There is much to know about the financial part of our lives. We often must learn as we go, making painful mistakes along the way. 

Beyond the specifics of budgeting or how credit works, a large part of financial wellness is about self-control, discipline and trade-offs; about delayed gratification and the ability to plan for the long-term. 

Topics can be customized for individual needs.

Topics include:

Wants vs. Needs

Financial Goal-Setting & Planning

Delayed Gratification & Self-Control

Income & Taxes

Budgeting & Expenses

Savings

Unexpected Life Events

Credit & Debt

Insurance & Risk

Being a Critical Consumer 

Retirement

The Magic of Compounding

Introduction to Investing

Financial Self-Sufficiency

America's massive and expanding gender & racial financial literacy gap contributes to growing economic inequalities.

 Low financial literacy is connected to negative credit behaviors, higher interest and delinquency rates and home foreclosure.

According to the P-Fin Index, the connection is clear: financial literacy leads to financial wellness. 

People with greater financial literacy are:

• Better prepared to achieve short & long-term financial goals
• Better able to handle unexpected expenses
• Are less likely to be bound by debt and tend to make payments on time 
• More likely to plan for & stay on track towards retirement goals 

April is National Financial Literacy Month. 

There's no better time than spring for a month of information & action devoted to individual & family-focused financial wellness.
