About this course

Every financial decision you make, from daily spending to long-term planning, is shaped by your unique relationship with money, risk, and opportunity. In this course, you'll explore how mindset, experience, and human capital influence financial behavior, especially when resources are scarce. By understanding what drives your choices, you'll develop the confidence to set meaningful goals and make intentional decisions that build lasting financial well-being. What if the biggest obstacle to your financial success isn't your income or your circumstances; it's the way you think about money? Many of us were never taught to examine the beliefs, biases, and blind spots that quietly steer our financial choices every day. This course changes that. You'll learn to identify what's really driving your decisions, challenge the patterns that hold you back, and build the self-awareness and skills to take real control of your financial future.
