This knowledge needs to be passed on, from generation-to-generation, I encourage you to attend the class with your child(ren), if you are a parent, because the knowledge that they will gain could give them a head start in learning how to manage their own finances and help to set them on the right financial path, not only now, while they are still young, but also in the future, when they become adults. So, roll up your sleeves and get ready to put in a little physical and mental sweat equity, to spearhead your financial future in the right direction.”
