It sounds like an interesting course but it sounds difficult.
Have any of you taken a class like this one?
This is a great course, and really should be required. You shouldn’t find it too hard. It’s pretty basic, but will give you a great understanding of your finances and how best to maximize their benefits.
If you figure that most of your schooling is focused on teaching you how to make a living, this course will give you the basic understanding you will need to be financially successful managing your money for the rest of your life.

Sounds like a great course. Your life will revolve around money and fiance for the rest of your life! It will certainly be more important to you that algebra, spanish, and chemistry combined. It could just change your life, you might actually understand how money, fiance, and investment works. These life lessons I had to teach myself personally and professionally over the past 30 years!
I wish I had the availability of a course to get the ball rolling. I would have made and saved a bundle!

I agree with the previous posts, this sounds like a great course to prepare you for your future. As far as the class difficulty, you may want to post this question in the education section. Regardless of the answers, paying the course fees involved would be a sound investment.
