Course Details

Unless you're lucky, you got little training in school about how to handle your everyday spending, savings and credit. Nor do you receive any coaching about the long-term and big-ticket events in your life, such as making investments, buying cars, negotiating a mortgage and paying the right amount of income tax (and no more). People often marry and have kids without ever confronting the important money issues in their lives -- until they run into a full-blown financial crisis.

Together we will learn the financial basics, such as how compound interest can work in your favour when you save and how it can wreak havoc when you borrow. We will also look at how to control risk in your life, such as longevity, disability, accidents and theft. In the past few years, governments have shifted risk to individuals, so we have to put the proper support mechanisms into place ourselves. It's never too late to learn these facts of life.

Tuition fee includes the price of photocopied handouts.
