Serious debt causes not merely difficulties, but devastation. It can destroy families, and it’s no respecter of income or age – all kinds of people need help.
Rob Parsons’ book The Money Secret, first published in 2005, tells the story of Amy, a young woman who learns, step by step, to take control of her finances. Amy is brought out of despair at her situation and finds hope. The book is packed with practical advice, and uncovers the realities of a world that has changed fundamentally over the past couple of decades.
Taking the sound advice within The Money Secret to a new level, The Money Secret Adult Curriculum is a 10-session course which explores money management issues using practical scenarios. It helps participants to learn practical budgeting skills in a non-threatening environment. By covering issues such as using plastic cards, banks and loans, and setting priorities, this web-based curriculum could transform a community.
And it’s not just about debt - it’s for everyone who wants a wiser grasp of their finances. It’s about wise life choices, and it increases understanding of the way the money system works.
Complete with lesson plans and tutor’s notes, the course can be run by both the experienced teacher and those who are leading a group for the first time. What’s more - this course is free to anyone who wishes to use it! Simply visit www.themoneysecret.info and follow the instructions online.
