Young Adults Can Learn Priceless Money Management Skills Early On

Fortunately, when I was younger I was taught some good money management skills. A single parent, my mom worked hard to make ends meet and often sat with my sister and I to show us how she wrote checks to pay bills and how to manage a checkbook. She taught me that debt was not a thing I wanted to get into, so I have tried to avoid it, although student loans and car loans seemed necessary in my late teens and early twenties.

In the past decade or so I have come across an astonishing number of people in their twenties who have no idea how to manage their money, or they are making huge mistakes and racking up debt with no plan to pay it off. And putting money into savings? It is like a foreign concept. It hurts to see the path they are traveling down and the struggles they will face throughout life because of it.

The good news is that I have been blessed to be a part of the creation of the iMoneyCoach Financial Life Training System Young Adult Edition. This is a version of our online course designed with the young adult in mind, whether in college, recently graduated, still living at home or already married. The course speaks to scenarios the young adult might face, and teaches important money management skills that will last a lifetime.

The chance to learn good money management before making huge mistakes that can take years to fix is tremendous! Discovering skills to make wise decisions for a lifetime can completely change the future for a young person. And iMoneyCoach wants to be a part of that!

Here is a list of some of the benefits of the iMoneyCoach Financial Life Training System  Young Adult Edition:

• Learn money skills that will help you avoid pitfalls and instead find success early on that will last throughout your lifetime, including how to balance a checkbook, track spending, create a budget, and prioritize spending.

• Discover how life and finances are interconnected and interdependent. Every decision you make in life affects and is affected by money. Find out how you can make better life decisions that will ultimately allow your finances to work.

• Learn other skills that will help you both with your finances and with other areas of your life, such as your relationships or work.

• There is an entire section devoted to re-defining goal-setting in a way that will help you reach your dreams in every area of life.

• Conveniently work through the course at your own pace and from your own computer or Internet-connected mobile device.

All of our worksheets are also easily accessible in the course, so if you want to return to one of them or need to print a new copy, they are easy to find.

It is absolutely better to learn good money management early on. There is no reason to wait. In fact, waiting can cost you dearly. In your twenties you are at a prime age to learn about the importance of handling your money well so that you can afford the things you want now and in the future. If you have any questions about the course, I would be more than happy to answer them. I am passionate about getting the financial knowledge out there to young adults so they can live happy, fulfilling lives.
