Financial education provides the foundation for financial success.
The quote "Knowledge is power" rings true in any and all money matters. A better understanding of finances can benefit you in the following ways:
Cut costs and build savings. It's possible to save thousands of dollars in a relatively short amount of time.
Empowers you to create a better future. Learning how to save, spend, budget, invest and pay off your debt will give you the ability to improve your life.
Provides essential life skills that parents and schools have largely failed to provide especially in minority communities.
Reduces stress that allows you to focus better on work and in your personal life. Often times, the uncertainty of not knowing how you will pay bills, support your family, go on vacation, or retire can add immense stress.
