all about the course with Nothing is Separate
2024 SUMMER COURSE NOW CLOSED. Keep an eye out for the Fall 2024 offering.
I am offering a 6 week course this summer for teens and young adults. Applications for the course are now open. I am using the curriculum from Beyond Personal Finance created by Charla McKinley. You can check out the curriculum on her website: bpfclass.com If this course offering doesn’t fit your schedule or if you’d like to go it alone I strongly recommend this course to everyone.
There are 11 student spots for the course and the fee for the course is $25 for each student. The fee covers the course itself and shipping for the workbook. The course includes access to the online videos, the online live instruction and a workbook. The summer schedule for this course is Monday/Wednesday from June 10-July 17. This equals 12 sessions that are 1.5 hours long. The expectation is that you’ll watch the supporting videos and submit your homework online between class sessions, this will require an additional hour or so a week and therefore you’ll need to commit to putting in the time needed for each week. The course guides you through the stages of life and how those stages impact your finances. The ideas in the course allow you to understand the power you have in your financial choices. The course allows you to make the necessary choices and challenges you to also experience hiccups that life tosses your way. This course gives safe practice for decision making that will influence your future.
Applications are open until May 30 and email notifications will be sent out June 1. Depending on who and how many apply will determine who is able to get a seat in the course. Workbooks will be mailed to you so that you can get started for our first session on June 10.
Why am I offering this course? I personally had no idea how to manage my money when I left for college and ultimately lived on my own. I made some decisions that took my financial freedom away and I owed a lot of debt that stopped me from doing a lot of things that I would have loved to do. If I had a course like this when I was in high school or my first few years of college I believe I would have made decisions that would have provided me with more freedom. I want that for you.
I hope you consider this course as an option for you this summer. If you have any questions please send me an email. emily@nothingisseperate.com If we are not able to fit you into this course or this schedule doesn’t fit for your plans you can keep an eye out for 2025 course offerings. Following our finance newsletter will help you stay informed on future offerings. (link here to join newsletter)
