Secure the Bag – Personal Finance

Bring it all home by focusing on managing your own money. Learn the essential tool of creating and using a budget to track income (gross, net) and expenses (fixed, variable). We emphasize the importance of saving, including building an emergency fund, and how compound interest helps money grow. Understand concepts related to borrowing, such as credit score and debt-to-income ratio, distinguishing good from bad debt. Finally, we cover using credit cards, saving for the long term with retirement accounts, using insurance for protection, calculating your net worth, and setting financial goals.
