About this class

“How To Save Money 101” unfortunately isn’t a class we’re offered but it should be a prerequisite for life. What’s usually the case is we find ourselves in the real world, with a job, making some money, and then spending that money thinking we’ll eventually start to save at some far-off point in the future. Most of us, including me for awhile, don’t truly understand how to save or invest so we wait and hope that everything will work itself out. I got tired of that.

The class will teach you the basics around saving and investing, as well as provide general action items to get you started. Learning everything about finance is not the goal, I want to make sure people understand that this process is a lot simpler than these Wall Street people make it out to be.
