Financial Education For Free
We go to school, even to University – and yet learn so little about managing our finances. We live in a place we call home all our lives and often don’t know how to use our home to provide security for our future.
How surprising then to get financial education when on a totally unrelated training course!
I was delivering a workshop with my Training For Universities business, all was well, a good group of staff, highly motivated and learning from me and from each other – and then we had the coffee break…
We got to talking about rugby – well we were in Wales – and I explained my challenge watching the last matches in the 6 Nations tournament… I will be in London at a Money Gym Property Extravaganza.
And suddenly the subject shifted “Is property still a good investment?”, “But you can’t get mortgages now can you?”, “And what about the money you lose when you don’t have tenants?” – the questions flooded out!
There was such a level of interest we had to negotiate an extension – and we extended the workshop while we talked about financial freedom and rent-to-own! I think they were blown away at the prospect of being able to make two families genuinely happy and make a profit.
What an unexpected way to end an exciting day!
And if you haven’t a clue what I’m talking about either leave a comment or come along to our Property Extravaganza on 21st March – and remember that all profits go to support The Big Issue – another example of a win-win!
