  • What is Money?4:59

    Before we start learning deeply on how to handle money, we first need to get on the same page on a couple questions, like what really is "money" anyway? And is having more money our only concern?

  • Where do you think you're going?4:03

    Yogi Berra is credited with saying, "if you don't know where you're going, you'll end up someplace else" If you don't have goals, this world will beat you down and ultimately convince you there is nothing better out there for you. Fight those lies by setting a course, which will set the table for you to win with your money.

  • Setting Goals
  • Opportunity Cost3:27

    It may not feel like it, but every time you choose to spend your time or money on something, you are simultaneously giving up a whole host of alternatives. Knowing how much those alternatives cost is key to making the most powerful decisions you can.

  • Opportunity Cost Assignment

Requirements

  • You should have basic math understanding, including percentages.
