Brief Introduction
What You Wish You Had Learned In SchoolDescription
Did you know that only 57% of American adults are financially literate?
Lets break that cycle.
Welcome to Personal Finance and Economics for Millennials!
This course is a beginner-level course about Personal finance FOR millennials, BY a millennial. Are you sick of hearing older adults preach at you about why you should save, or wondering why you still have roommates, aren't married yet, don't own a house yet?
Incomes are statistically lower, and expenses are statistically higher than they were when our parents were our age. It can seem daunting, and even overwhelming to think about getting started with saving, home buying, or preparing for another recession.. let alone going on vacations, sending your kids to college one day, or *gasp* actually ENJOYING your life now!
There is a way to handle it all, despite how the world may seem. I've done it, and I've put together a variety of different resources, processes, tips and tricks to help you do it too! By following certain guidelines, you can get on your feet financially, and not have to sacrifice everything that you enjoy in life in order to do so.
My name is Maria. I'm 24 years old and graduated in 2017 with a finance degree. I watched my parents open a small business during the recession, and became obsessed with financial management and strength ever since. I've seen my friends make such common and easy to avoid mistakes, and want to keep as many people as possible from making the same ones! I've made it my personal mission to help as many people our age avoid big mistakes financially. Because the truth is, nobody is at their best when they're worried about money.
How this course is different.
There are millions of personal finance courses, books, and programs out there, each of them taking a slightly different (and awesome) approach. Personal Finance and Economics for Millennials aims to do what most of them haven't done, covering subjects that other courses usually don't, and catering them for the Millennial Generation (And Generation Z)!
We'll cover things like:
Insurance - What it all means, and how it actually works.
Taxes - How the tax system works in the US, what deductions are, and how your tax return works.
The Basics of the Economy - The very basics of the factors that influence the rise and fall of the economy in the US, and how you can take advantage of these factors in managing and growing your personal finances.
Why credit cards don't have to be evil, and how to avoid common credit card pitfalls.
How to treat yo' self and have money for the things you like to do - even if you're paying off debt or saving for something big!
Plus the normal personal finance topics - like saving, investing, and budgeting, all with a millennial twist.
This course will get you started with personal finance, and give you the foundation to turn your personal finance journey into a lifetime set of good habits and knowledge.
Bonus Resources
In addition to the course materials, I'll be providing several other resources and tools to help you take your journey further:
Personal Finance for Millennials - the e-book. This course began as a book, and now I'll be giving you the FULL book for free as a bonus to this course!
A glossary of helpful definitions mentioned in the course.
Building your Financial Foundation flowchart - To help you stay on track with the principles outlined in this course, in an easy, step by step guide!
A list of my favorite books, podcasts, finance websites, and apps to help you along the way on your financial journey!
Instructor Q & A - Ask me anything! I may even add to the course based on any questions that are asked!
Access to any future updates for life - Personal finance isn't a one time thing you learn, but a lifestyle.
You Owe it To Yourself
It all starts with a decision to get on top of your finances.
You can continue to wonder how it could all come together, or you could take the next step!
For the price of a few coffees, a tee shirt, or a night out with friends, you could build your financial foundation once and for all!
I believe in you, and I believe in our generation's ability to impact this world in a major way. But, we can't do any of that until we get our own finances in check. With the right tools, you can become un-f-withable financially.
Lets do this!
