Program Goals
The goals of the program are to enhance financial literacy and transform decision making so that individuals become wealth creators. The program will promote balanced financial choices so that participants understand they are responsible for their current and future lifestyles. The focus is on key life choices: spending, saving, investing, managing credit, evaluating risk, insuring assets, and planning for retirement.
