Module 8 Money Basics

alt text

Using money wisely is a skill – and a skill that will usually pay off. Any skill, like being a plumber, an auto mechanic, a doctor, or a dentist requires learning – what’s important to know, how things work, how to do the work, what can go wrong, and what to do in certain circumstances. That’s the case with money too.

There are things to learn about money that can help you to take better control, make better decisions, and have a better chance of achieving your goals. To help you take better control of money in your life, let’s cover a few of the “basics.” These can help build your basic understanding as you get more and more involved with money and money decisions.
