As someone who grew up with VERY little money and made SO MANY bad financial decisions, I understand how easy it is to waste money. It took me a decade to overcome my poor decisions. At 26 years old I remember waking up one morning and checking my bank account, I had 11 dollars in my savings. BUT yet I had the newest iPhone. I had a 25K dollar car and 200 dollar sneakers.

Not having financial literacy will absolutely catch up to you eventually, it doesn’t matter if you have 100 dollars or 1 million dollars.

After going back to college and obtaining a business degree in Economics , this was the first time I had ever taken a “meaningful” financial literacy course. This is when I realized no one is going to save me from me. I learned the value of a penny saved is a penny earned. From that day on I learned to spend money on experiences instead of “stuff”

At 28 I saved my first 10,000 dollars. I never dreamed of having that much money as silly as it sounds. It seemed impossible to me. Over the past year alone I managed to save nearly 16,000 dollars. I don’t invest in things that I’m not 100 percent confident in on the stock market because there is no such thing as “play money” to me anymore. I have become very frugal with me money.

Why?

Because I’m so scared of going back to being that 26 year old that had 11 dollars in his bank account.

Unfortunately I didn’t start investing until my 30s because I didn’t understand anything about investing. I’m hoping to help people with this course. It’s not about giving advice on the hot trendy stocks to buy, it’s about understanding how the stock market works.
