How Money Works
We all go to school for 12 to 16 years and learn reading, writing & arithmetic, but never learn anything about how money works. In the first of a series of workshops, "How Money Works" you will learn the financial principals to grow your money for college funding, retirement planning or simply for wealth accumulation - with money you never even knew you had. It covers the basic principles of money, including the three enemies and three allies of wealth accumulation. Topics to be covered include basic saving strategies, compound interest, taxation, inflation and accumulation vehicles."
