Course description
Putting money under your mattress is obviously foolish. Not only could it be stolen, but the buying power of that money will also decrease with inflation (when prices go up).
Yet, many of us keep our money in savings accounts or certificates of deposit that often don’t earn enough interest to beat the effects of inflation.
Investing, in contrast, has been shown to grow your money more effectively over the long run.
In this course, you’ll learn if you’re ready to invest, the different investment options, and how to keep the costs of holding your investments down.

Course description
Is your spending out of control? Or are you struggling to save any money?
There are numerous courses on increasing sales. In a world where consumerism is encouraged, very few of us question how we’re sold to. We know of the obvious ways we can avoid being sold to, e.g., ignoring door-to-door salesmen and opting out of junk mail, but what about understanding why we choose a brand like Apple for all of our technology when Samsung offers the same product with stronger reviews? Is everything in our spending to do with advertisers, or are there other ways that we’re being enticed to spend more than we need to?
Become an empowered consumer. Be more deliberate about your consumption.
