What you'll learn
- What Money Is and Does. You just handed over five dollars to buy a coffee. The barista gave you the drink. No one had to figure out how many eggs or socks equal one coffee—money did that work in seconds.
- Personal Budgeting and Saving. Most of us feel the difference between having money flow through our hands and having it flow in a direction we chose.
- Interest, Loans, and Debt. Without understanding interest, you can end up paying far more than you borrowed—and that matters because borrowing is often how we buy homes, cars, or cover emergencies.
- Investing and Asset Allocation. Putting all your savings in one place and putting it across several different places create two very different futures. Suppose you have $1,000 to grow.
