What students are saying about this course:

“This course is great because it breaks down personal finance into detailed and manageable steps. Money is so overwhelming and stress-inducing, but this guide has so many useful tips for overcoming that.”

“I’ve never looked at my finances this way…maybe the fact that I haven’t spent any time learning any of this is why I’ve never grown financially! The spreadsheets and guides are extremely helpful and I already feel my financial mindset is changing positively.”

“The presenter is clear and concise. The visuals are very helpful. Everything is explained clearly and in detail. My fiancé and I are to marry next year and I hope to apply a lot of the information I’ve gained from this course in debt management and investments.”

“This was a really helpful course. The topics were very clearly explained. I feel significantly more competent when it comes to arranging my own money. I had always been really intimidated by investment options and this course really broke them down in a way that was clear and easy to grasp.”
