Money, Mindset, Makeover

The best investment you can make, is an investment in yourself… The more you learn, the more you’ll earn.” —Warren Buffett

Financial education is more than dollars and cents. It’s about establishing better spending habits, instilling confidence, and equipping the community with the real-world skills to manage their finances and financial goals. 

While there is no commonly agreed upon definition of financial literacy, there is one common theme among all of them: Poor financial health is due to a lack of education. It’s considered a knowledge problem. Proper education is important, but financial literacy programs focus on the facts and figures and ignore our feelings (our emotions), which ultimately drive our behaviors. It’s a mindset problem and not only a money and math problem.

The Money, Mindset, Makeover Financial Literacy Program was created to address these critical community issues.  We wanted to create a program that would remove every barrier that might prevent someone from receiving the basic information/education necessary for financial success. That’s how and why the Money, Mindset, Makeover financial literacy program was born.
