    The material in this course is seldom taught in a regular classroom setting, yet the topics covered affect your every day lives much more than anything you will learn in any other course.

    We present the material in a simple and straightforward way.
  • We emplasize examples so that you aren't just reading page after page of dry information.
  • We use humor to reinforce the points as a funny story or illustration will help you to remember a message more than paragraphs of text.
  • The course is full of colorful illustrations to make the text visually appealing and to reinforce the concepts.


  • The topics we cover have been carefully selected. They were recommended for inclusion by individuals who have been in terrible financial straits themselves and also by educators who know what young adults want to learn about.

    We offer review materials throughout the course so that you can measure what you have retained in each section before moving on to the next one.
