Money on the Mind

How you make financial decisions is influenced by many factors.

This class helps you understand your financial decisions by exploring your personal beliefs around money. We begin by discussing how our beliefs about money influence the financial decisions we make, whether personal or in business, then we will guide you through a short assessment that will help you understand your individual money beliefs.

Afterwards, we’ll review common ways people think about money, what to know to make more informed financial decisions, and specific actions to take that can help you stick to your spending plan.
