Finance Bootcamp!
If you don’t learn about money, you’ll pay for it!
Finance Bootcamp is an essential class for any young man interested in developing a plan for personal financial success.
We’ll examine the role of money as a source of value and how it is used to generate profit. We’ll read Robert T. Kiyosaki’s best selling book, Rich Dad Poor Dad, and develop a working vocabulary for financial literacy while cultivating personal financial habits.
We’ll learn:
- How credit cards work (APR/APY)
- All about interest rates
- The role of a credit score
- How to buy a car
- How to buy a house
- How taxes work (we’ll pay federal, state, and local income taxes!)
We’ll also review different asset classes such as:
- Stocks & Options
- Real estate
- Bonds & Currencies
Key terms include:
- Asset
- Liability
- Income
- Expense
- Interest
- Taxes
- Balance Sheet
- Cash Flow
- Return on Investment
We’ll also try to determine how much money is needed to live a comfortable life in the Washington, DC area…the answer might be surprising!!
