This course was created to help others master their budget. I spent my early twenties working hard but getting nowhere, and that was because I did not know how to spend my money in a disciplined manner. Since I was not very good at budgeting, I was also not very good at saving.
When I graduated from dental school with $575,000 in student debt, I knew that I had to turn my life around. I did not want to wait 25 years for my loans to be forgiven. I did not want to wait until I was 50 years old to be free. So the first thing I did was hire a financial planner. I was fortunate enough to hire a financial planner who taught me the ways of budgeting. It took me about 6 months to learn it all, but with this course, I can see my students learning it at a much quicker pace!

There are also additional tips, tricks, and life hacks that I have included throughout the course. You will find a few worksheets to help you organize your thoughts. Also, there are a number of references and continued education at the very end of the course.
I want this course to catapult you forward, but it is by no means the end-all. Once you have the resources to master a budget, the rest of your life begins.
