Myth Monday is back!

Here is one that could not be more untrue. You do NOT need a finance degree to understand finances.

Many people believe that understanding financial concepts requires advanced education in finance or economics. In reality, financial education materials can be designed to be accessible and understandable for people without formal financial training.

At AFEA, our class materials are designed with you in mind. We put these materials in the hands of the experts who are there to help you make sense of your finances.

Don't believe us? Pop into a class this month and find out! The link in our bio always has upcoming events.
