Personal Finance Bootcamp : Learnings of 2nd world tax payer

Personal Finance Bootcamp : Learnings of 2nd world tax payer, Focus on necessary tools like loans, equities from a daily personal finance perspective. A commonman’s perspective.

We keep hearing about financial terms in the news, in conversations, and in almost every kind of media that reaches us. But most of the time, we filter out that information as noise due to the tiresome jargon. What if you spend a couple of hours and get a basic framework to start making sense of that noise? 

The main objective of this course is to create awareness about the bigger picture of the finance ecosystem. The massive diversity in regulations across countries and the financial goals of individuals makes it impossible to come up with one solution that will work for all. Hence, understanding the basics can provide a solid monetary decision-making framework for the rest of your life.
