Personal Finance 101 (Video)

Hey, we're with you: Cheetos and the latest Madden are, no doubt, excellent purchases. But we're willing to bet you've got some #adulting purchases in your future, like a car, a house, and maybe even an inside slide for that house (just us?).

This six-lesson video course will teach you how to get the most bang for your buck, including the basics on how the banking and investing worlds work, and how to make them both work for you. We'll go over the deets on checking accounts to make sure you can pay your bills, and savings accounts for future rainy days. (Or sunny seaside retirement homes, we're thinkin'.) We'll fill you in on where to put your money, how much to put where, and how the banks make bank. 

And while we can't reveal any secrets to becoming a millionaire, your newfound money management skills should ensure you don't pull a Mike Tyson with your fortune, blow it all on white Bengal tigers, and end up broke.

Over the course of these lessons, you'll

• discover why money makes the world go around and how it may play a role in happiness.
• find out why the dollar is often a misunderstood little guy.
• learn the differences between checking accounts and savings accounts, and why you need both.
• get interested in interest, and learn why it's not all as simple as it sounds.
• invest in yourself by talking investments.
• get the 4-1-1 on how banks operate.

Here's a sneak peek at a video from the course. BYOP (bring your own popcorn).
