To be financially literate is to know how to manage your money. This means learning how to pay your bills, how to borrow and save money responsibly, and how and why to invest and plan for retirement. Managing your money is a personal skill that benefits you throughout your life and not one that everybody learns. Managing your own money requires a fundamental understanding of personal credit and a willingness to embrace personal responsibility. To be financially literate means having the ability not to let money or the lack of it get in the way of your happiness as you work toward your goals.This course will assist students in preparing for retirement by combining life and wealth goals. You’ll review how to finance some of your life goals, whether education, purchasing a home, traveling, or retirement.
