Control Your Finances
Unfortunately, we aren't taught financial skills in school. Learn the time tested practices to use money as a tool, and take control of your financial future.
Why Is This Important?
Money is a tool that helps us operate in life. Some may ask "why is it this way"? Well, if you want to stay at a hotel, eat a meal, or take your family to a museum, other people had to sacrifice time and resources to make that happen. Money is how we balance what we contribute to society, vs. what we receive. It's a simple as that.
The more value you contribute, the more you earn per hour; the more money you earn per hour, the more freedom you have to do what you want. What we are taught about money is often extremely flawed. The fact that people get so uncomfortable when you talk about it is a clue to how important it is, and we have become a society that lies to kids about money. Learn how money works, and how to make it a positive part of your life.
