Good morning. I'm thrilled to be a part of this wonderful class. I plan how using this to help me grow financially wiser and make better money planning options for my future. To help other people as well so they can make a difference in their life as well. Share the knowledge
ReplyDeleteHi Stacy, I too am excited about the class and I look forward to working with you and seeing how we all grow in our financial knowledge through out the coming weeks.
DeleteTo share the knowledge is one of my lifelong goals. It is a long desire of becoming financial literate and helping others through this journey. This is definitely the start and right way to go about reaching these goals for all of us.
DeleteStacy, I like how you end the comment with sharing the knowledge. I plan on sharing the knowledge as well!
DeleteI am so excited that I am finally able to take this course. I feel that it will give me the information that I need to become more financial incline and make good choices as it relates to my daily finances. I have some basic knowledge of budgeting and am looking forward to putting what I have learn to action along with the wealth of information that we will receive to put us on the right track. I just want to be consistent in this make it apart of who I am. With this class one of my short team goal is to get out of debt with out "robbing Peter to Pay Paul" if you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you expressed your honesty. This feelings is the same as mine. I have done the same things you have done before I took the first class. This class will work, we as you said must be consistent and that consistency will help us in all in the long run. I look forward to working with you and strive to become better at being financially literate.
DeleteOne of my short-term goals is to get out of debt as well! So many unexpected things keep popping up and it gets frustrating.
DeleteYes Charmaine. We are going to have a great experience in the next 13 weeks of class.
ReplyDeleteHello everyone, how I plan to use financial literacy in my everyday life is by creating a budget, keeping track of expenses make timely payments and also investing for your future. I also mentor a young 18 year old who has twins and I will love to help her the way this institute will help me.
ReplyDeletewe are going to learn and help each other in this program
DeleteGood evening everyone of the 2024 FinLit class. I would like to express my gratefulness as being part of this new program for the year. I planned to take from this class a new outlook on saving and budgeting. My main focus is to override my old ways of thinks on how I should save, monitor my money not just in day to day but conscious spending that will keep me on track for daily and long-term goals of my financial management. I plan to come to get to know the women in this group so that we can continue to help each other stay in financial compliance starting at this short time spent to becoming long-term partners in our financial health. This is the beginning of a long lasting financial journey that we have developed as a Financial Sisterhood. I look forward to this and this will help not just myself but all of us. And as we learn we share with our family and friends.
ReplyDeleteSheila I love your response especially the part about overriding your old ways. Well said. I'm looking for to the Financial Sisterhood as well. We are all going to take away so much knowledge and share with friends and family. Thank you for sharing
DeleteSheila, I really enjoyed reading your comment. I love the detail you use, how your describe the class as a Financial Sisterhood, and how this is a long lasting financial journey. All these statements are accurate.
DeleteI took like the way you describe the class as a financial sisterhood, I believe it is way to hold each other accountable and up life each other in our financial endeavors. In this sister hood I look forward to the encouragement and conversations we will have to add value to each of us as a whole.
DeleteHi, everyone, I would like to learn how to manage my money better and help my daughters budget
ReplyDeleteHello Omayra. This is a great start to learn that. I'm so happy that you joined the group. You will definitely help your daughters as well. I'm looking forward to growing together to manage our money. I can't wait to learn new tools to get us started
DeleteOmayra you said your goal in a short and sweet manner. I too want to manage money better and provide a budget for my two children. I want to be able to teach other to become financially independent and be successful while doing it.
DeleteShort sweet and right to the point! I love this and I am so excited to get to know everyone better.
DeleteMy goal is to utilize financial literacy in many areas of my life. First, saving, I need to save for both a car and my own apartment. Next, budgeting, in order for me to save I need to follow the budget given to us in this class. Lastly, my credit is not the best and I need to learn ways to increase my credit score. Overall, these are the areas I believe this class can support me in.
ReplyDeleteHi Annastacia,
DeleteI am glad this course exist we all never really paid attention to budgeting until we actually should be using it in our everyday life.
I joined this class to get a better understanding of my finances. My goal is to purchase a duplex but the way I be spending its not going to happen! So I am hoping to gain some knowledge on how to save better and learn how to budget. I think once I get this budgeting down it is definitely going to help. I am also going to pass whatever I learn here onto my partner so we can both be on the same page.
ReplyDeleteA big part of Financial Freedom is having Your Heart and Mind Free from Worry about the What - ifs of Life. Famous quote from Suze Orman
ReplyDeleteI like the way you used that quote because I learned from my prior class I attended that the only way I can achieve those What-ifs of Life is to not be afraid to meet my challenges before they over take everything concerning my financial stability. I use to have the "Ostrich" effect of looking at my finances and I learned from taking the class and continue to utilize skills learned and gained. I also learned I have to tweak my way of thinking constantly.
