Those courses don't teach personal finance. Fidelity and Mint are great (free) ways for people to learn and to actually use what they have learned to make smart choices.Joedehttp://www.facebook.com/BlackPearlCreationsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9067208411663732207.post-6300734458052338692011-05-02T06:46:30.049-04:002011-05-02T06:46:30.049-04:00Great Post Again Patrice,

But I'm learning the hard way that it doesn't matter how much money you make, it's about doing what's right once that direct deposit hits the bank.

People don't understand the importance of financial education. I believe that financial education is just as important in achieving your dreams as getting a college education in the first place.
