Help Me Save Money

None of us are born with the skills to manage money just like a child isn’t born to start walking. But just like a child we can learn one step at a time. This website takes the reader step by step through the basics of money and further as your skills grow. The website follows a set pattern of:
- Description
- Why you need it
- How to compare it
- How to go about it
- Pitfalls and Tips
- Examples and/or Templates
- Resources/References
The child learning to walk is a good analogy for learning new skills as they first just watch, then roll, they then start to crawl and pull themselves up onto furniture, and finally start to take their first steps. Most times tumbling and falling as they go but they try and try again. The child never gives up and eventually learns to walk. You may also notice that they follow their own order of things and have their own techniques to learn.
Money is just another skill which fortunately or unfortunately we all need to learn. The upside of doing a course though, is that you can learn at your own pace. You are given tools to help, and ideas on how to go about each money topic/issue. You can spend more time on the topics that are most relevant to you and go back to them again and again if you need to. The best part about this course is there is no exam at the end.
