To use this course, you must be comfortable with using excel and use of basic math functions such as sum, average, divide, and power etc.
This course does not talk about where to invest your money, or how to build secondary sources of income and things like that. It just uses basic math to tell you where your current path of investments is taking you in the future.
This course does not focus on theory but on practical numbers and without wasting any time on small talk we will dive straight into the business of deriving those number through a concept called 'The Art of Modelling with Spread Sheets'.

You will learn how to evaluate your financial situation by considering key parameters like return on investments, inflation rates, and tax implications.
