PART 1 is all about Understanding Credit.

We’ll then get into budgeting, and how to put together a workable budget, and introduce the 50/30/20 Rule as well as Zero-Based Budgeting (ZBB). Finally, we'll go over some of the software options that can help you with budgeting and spending.

PART 4 is all about Managing Debt. We'll start by discussing the different categories and types of debt, and then discuss ways you can avoid getting into debt in the first place.
