This course is designed for anyone who currently has, or will have in the future have, savings goals. Learners will come to understand the importance of compounding growth, the variables that impact setting goals like retirement savings, and how much money you need to save now to reach future goals. The course will help learners think through individual goals, like retirement, but also how those goals fit into your bigger financial picture. For example, saving for retirement, buying a home, and funding college for your kids all at the same time. The instructors will also cover how preparing for emergencies can prevent the derailment of those financial goals.
The concepts covered in this course are broad but through the activities offered, learners will see how to apply what they are learning about saving money for the future to their lives now. This course is geared towards learners in the United States of America.

Good course. A bit dated but I found many chapters especially the ones about personal finance, taxes, cars and housing to be most interesting and relevant to me.

I learned about the growth of your savings and how much you need to set aside for emergencies while you plan for your long-term financial goals. This module explains the factors that play a role in setting retirement goals and the types of funds that will help you achieve that goal.
This module will focus on other financial emergencies/major long-term purchases, including buying a home or car. It will help you evaluate the true cost of each of these costs and the different costs that can help you achieve these goals.
This module focuses on how you can prepare to pay for your child's college education, including how much it will cost, different types of financing, and different accounts you can use to achieve this goal.

This course provided very thorough and general overviews of all financial aspects of life. I wish it had touched on more specific saving tactics rather than just listing them out. The quality of the videos was rather poor too. I personally like SoFi as a company and actually started banking with them prior to this course, so if you are looking to join a reliable and organized bank, they are it!
