ECON 020 PZ -Personal Financial Decisions

Institution: Pitzer

Description: We face many important financial decisions during our lives, and this noncredit course focuses on helping students make informed choices that lessen financial stress and promote financial wellness, which I define as having a sense of security and freedom, of being able to absorb a financial shock, and of feeling you are on track to reach your financial goals. The course is designed for a general audience, and issues covered include dealing with debt, investing, managing risk, working with financial institutions, and preparing for retirement. Course is graded â€œP/NC,â€ and regular attendees to the weekly lecture pass the course.

Prerequisite(s): See the current course schedule for registration restrictions.
