What students are saying about this course:

“This course is great because it breaks down personal finance into detailed and manageable steps. Money is so overwhelming and stress-inducing, but this guide has so many useful tips for overcoming that.”

“I've never looked at my finances this way...maybe the fact that I haven't spent any time learning any of this is why I've never grown financially! The spreadsheets and guides are extremely helpful and I already feel my financial mindset is changing positively.”

“The presenter is clear and concise. The visuals are very helpful. Everything is explained clearly and in detail. My fiancé and I are to marry next year and I hope to apply a lot of the information I've gained from this course in debt management and investments.”

“This was a really helpful course. The topics were very clearly explained. I feel significantly more competent when it comes to arranging my own money. I had always been really intimidated by investment options and this course really broke them down in a way that was clear and easy to grasp.”

I am obsessed with personal finance and have been helping people with their finances, getting out debt, and becoming financially free for over 15 years.  It doesn't have to be complicated or overwhelming.  In fact, can be very fun and easy to learn.  Additionally, I have been working in the finance industry for over 11 years and worked in the insurance industry before that.  Nothing makes me happier then to see people become financially free and live the life they always wanted.  You can also find me on YouTube at Hacking The Rat Race.
