Financial Autonomy: Take Charge of Your Personal Finances
We will identify our financial goals (e.g., elimination of a mortgage, student loans, credit card debt, save enough for a college education, ...) and then determine the best ways to achieve these goals (e.g., what is my net worth ?, budgeting techniques, how can I increase my income ?, how can I decrease my expenses ?, ...). We will also discuss the pros and cons of trading time for money (most people earn a living by trading time for money) versus trading money for more money.
