One of the best life skills is knowing how to manage money. Whether it’s to set up your own business or managing your personal funds. With a sound foundation, learning to budget, having resources: opening a savings and checking account. The importance of a 401K and/or having an IRA. Goal setting and knowing what steps are needed to get you there – these are building blocks in being a responsible adult. I have worked with disadvantaged youth
