Why I Created This
I have worked for many years in corporate America in a variety of financial management roles. Besides, I have also helped friends and family members over the years to review their finances and educate them on how to manage their money better.
More recently, I have been teaching my youngest son to start saving and investing his money and have since expanded that to his friend group - all young people in their early 20's. My daughter, who is 18, is extremely interested in learning from me and has said she wishes they taught the topics I cover here in high school.
There is no universal tool or information package that teaches you basic financial concepts in school, and not everyone learns this at home. There is a strong need for a package like this one. It takes potentially challenging basic financial concepts and breaks them down into small and easy to understand pieces.
As a result, I have prepared this information for the target audience range between 15 and 24 years old. Frankly, people of all ages who do not feel comfortable managing money, who don't realize the importance of saving for retirement (it is so Huge), who do not fully understand just how valuable a high credit score is and who perhaps have not thought about the future more broadly to appreciate life insurance's need and value. Anyone seeking an understanding of these things can significantly benefit from the information I have prepared here!
