BUS3087 - The Joy of Saving: Personal Money Management

Course Description

Does money manage your life, or do you manage your money?  You cannot plan on where you want to go financially until you know where you are starting from.  If you have no idea of where you are going currently headed, or no plan on how to get there, the change of financial success is very unlikely.  Hard to plan or progress if you do not have a financial goal.  These questions and many more will be addressed in the Joy of Savings series of classes.
