Course Name: AB005-Savings and Budgeting

This class introduces long- and short-term savings plans and goals as well as how to define each of these. This class also uses the MyFi Assist app to help students create a savings plan. Going over the cash flow and budget assignment will help students introduce savings into their budgets if they have not done so already. Their savings plans should include an emergency fund, a long-term goal like retirement, and at least one short-term goal. If students’ budgets seem to be stretched, they can identify areas where they can spend less or find areas where they can earn extra income. 1. Savings Goals 2. Good versus Bad Savings Goals 3.
