Has anybody ever attend a class or seminar on personal finance? Did it help you?

Do you think it is just better to read books on this. So far I read a couple books. I was thinking of attending a class.

Recently they had one at my moms bank and it did help. Now, we use our money a little bit more wisely, although we often forget some of the things we were told in the class. One tip was to empty your lose change into a jar whenever you see it or have it. I did this over the past few weeks, and I have like 7 dollars in change. It’s a little bit, but it feels good to say that i saved my money and I am making more wise choices when it comes to money. So, I think you should try it.

I did when I was in my 20s. It was the best money spent. Took two.
Household Finance Basics. Second one was Looking to the Future.
That covered Buying a home, saving for retirement. The seminar is more hands on and unlike just reading about it, you can ask questions.

I HIGHLY recommend Dave Ramsey’s “Total Money Makeover – Live Event”. If it doesn’t change how you look at money, I don’t know what will.

Yes, but they tried to sell me something. So i didn’t trust anything they taught. Read the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times business sections. YOu will learn more than the experts who teach the classes..
