Organizing Your Life: Financial Management (Being Happier)

Financial Management is one of those life skills that we aren't taught well enough in school. Being able to live a comfortable life requires some active participation on our part to make sure we are making the most out of the money we have.

In this course we cover topics about understanding your happiness as it relates to financial decisions, and then using that understanding to create a plan that you can follow successfully to grow wealth and long term happiness.

In the first half of this course I interview my husband, Mark, a financial wellness coach and writer, about why happiness matters for financial success. In the second half, Mark walks through evaluating your financial position and making a plan to put your money to work. 

This is meant to be a practical course for people of all levels of financial literacy, though some parts may come easier to you than others. You do not need to know financial terms or how to use a spreadsheet, but this course will be equally helpful as a refresher for those who already have more experience managing their finances.

This class is a part of my series called Organizing Your Life, where I cover various topics including tools you can use to manage your to do lists, how to manage your time, and how to more efficiently use everyday tools like Google Chrome.
