Description
Preparing for your financial future doesn't have to be so complicated!

This manageable and down-to-earth personal finance course empowers you to plan for your future needs and goals. Without all the big words, sales pitches, and angry old men telling you what to do (weÂ don't care how many lattes you drink!), this course puts you in the driver's seat of your own financial journey.Â We take a "micro-learning"Â approach. Through bite-size videos, illustrative graphics, and practical exercises, you will gain the financial literacy necessary to navigate the worlds of saving, investing, and retirement planning.
We'll talk about:Â
The purpose of saving and investing.
How to plan for retirement.
FIREÂ (Financial Independence Retire Early)
The different kinds of investing and retirement accounts.
What resources you can use to help you analyze and readjust your goals as needed.
How to be a self-guided, lifelong, learner in the world of money.Â
And more!
We're also going to cover the practical stuff that many financial literacy programs skip but that you might feel embarrassed to ask about - how to actually do things like:Â
buy a stock.
enroll in a 401k or Roth IRA.
use online calculators or spreadsheets to estimate how your savings or investments might grow.
find a savings account that will help maximize your contributions.
We'll even learn how Artificial Intelligence can help you organize your finances!
I hope you will join us!
Who this course is for:
If you have ever read an article or watched a video about finance or investing and said "huh?" ...this course is for you!
If you have ever heard your uncle say "start an IRA" and you said "a what?" This course is for you!

I started Everybody Money in 2023 as an educational resource center that democratizes access to basic financial concepts and tools. It is created by laypeople who come from outside of the financial industry; everyday people who know what it's like to start from square one. I'm not a financial advisor, stock broker, or even a guy with a YouTube channel. I'm just a guy who had to teach himself about finance from scratch and want to share what I have learned with others! Be sure to check out the Beacons link or our Facebook profile so you can continue to engage with the Everybody Money community. [email protected]
