Where do I find a course in personal finance?
I'm looking at the community college schedule and the only thing under Economics is Econ 101, which doesn't help me. I can't afford high tuition for a course like this or I wouldn't be looking! How do I learn the daily stuff that most people take for granted, like how to budget and save? San Bernardino county, but that's close enough to Los Angeles that it would help. E-mail me.

Your ID does not allow email> In Santa Clarita, there is Total Money School. I have attended their courses and they are pretty good. Cost is small, depending on the course you attend. Maybe $50-$100 per course and they can be half-day to two days on the weekend. http://www.totalmoneyschool.com/ If you have some other questions that you would like a quick answer on you can email me at ethanj@moneyandfreedom.org You can also read a very thorough article on personal finance at http://www.moneyandfreedom.org/definitivefinancialfreedom.html Be blessed,

Usually community colleges have non-credit adult education classes. But you know there are tons of magazines and books that deal with pretty much only the basics. You know, simple stuff but a lot depends on your situation: -Eat out rarely and take a bit of time to cook from scratch.... usually the number one thing in making a budget. -Look at every bill you have. Phone (home) bills are always way up on the list. They slowly add things or keep your long distance rate super high since most don't look. If you have a cell with free nights and weekends why even have long distance. Cable TV - any movie channels can go. Netflicks can give you more movies than you can watch.... at the price of 3 rentals. -The car....... you can always get cheaper insurance if you look around or tell your company you wish to switch. Or have your car serviced. A simple tuneup or having the fuel injction checked can save hundreds a month. This gives you a start..... trim the fat and examine where your money goes FIRST. Then you make lists and a budget.

There are quite a few good websites and books out there. Since you're tight on cash, check out the websites and library. If you want basic stuff, then consider checking out Dave Ramsey and/or Ric Edelman. Both of these guys have books and give seminars.

The credits are an indication of the amount of time required to be in class for the term (typically a semester or quarter) in a school year. In the traditional 18-week semester, a 3 credit class meant you would be in class with the instructor for 3 hours each week. So for 18 weeks in the semester, the total time spent in class would be 54 hours. Some people advise students to spend at least 1 hour outside of class to study and prepare for every 1 hour of class time...and others suggest 2 hours outside study for each hour of class. So a typical 3 credit class might require you to spend a total of 6 or 9 hours total each week. The credits are used to calculate your GPA...grade point average. Typically, and A = 4 points, B = 3 pts, C=2pts, D=1 pt, F=0. If you took 4 classes and each was 3 credits, let's say you got this report card: course 1 A = 4 X 3 = 12 course 2 B = 3 X 3 = 9 course 3 B = 3 X 3 = 9 course 4 C = 2 X 3 = 6 Total credits = 12 total points = 36 GPA = 36 divided by 12 = 3.0 or B The GPA is used to determine if you are in good standing or not. Students with low grades are often put on academic probation and give a specific time to show progress. Credits are counted toward your degree. For example, the college may say, you need to have 112 credits to graduate. Credits are also used to define a "full-time" student (minimum of 12 credits) or a "part-time" student (less than 12 credits). Check in your college catalog for more details about credits as specific rules can vary between colleges.. OK, hope this helps. Best wishes.

In my finance course, I had a question on my quiz asking "how much will you have in 10 years if you invest?
5,000 a year and earn 3%?'' I don't need to know the answer to this because I already solved it, but I wanted to know how do we determine that rate of 3%? To be more specific, was this 3% just randomly assigned? Is it 3% of your earnings or what?

The 3% was randomly assigned, but it's supposed to represent what the annual return would be if you invested it in CDs or some other type of savings.
