This money management course is packed with Dragons' Den–approved advice

Traditionally, you could assume that there are two kinds of people in this world: big (foolhardy) spenders and big (responsible) savers. However, this isn’t always the case.

You could be someone who saves as much money as possible, yet struggles to pay off their credit card bill on time. It’s different for everyone. But the reality is that one in three Canadians lives paycheque to paycheque.

In the last decade, debt-to-income levels and debt-to-asset levels in Canadian households have trended in opposite directions.  It’s clear, something has to change. So where do we start?

The answer lies in financial education. Sure, you could read a bunch of money management–related articles online. But the most effective way to develop your personal financial management is by taking an informative, interactive program filled with advice approved by the best in business — Dragons’ Den business moguls.

Wondering how and why Enriched Academy began? It’s simple. The co-founder, Kevin Cochran, realized first-hand that financial uncertainty can be a life sentence if you don’t have a plan in place.

When he was 22 years old, he bought his first car on a credit card — and quickly regretted it.

“Buying that car pushed me to the verge of bankruptcy,” says Cochran. He admits that he was never taught about money, but with the help of mentors, he achieved financial freedom by the time he was 38.

In school, most of us didn’t learn about personal money management, and our parents didn’t either. However, financial literacy is something that affects each and every one of us.

Getting a promotion or moving to a new job with a higher salary does not create financial freedom — learning how to manage your money does. Get started by visiting Enriched Academy and signing up for their free masterclass today.
