How to save money: smart and lasting saving
Saving is more than setting money aside: it is a habit, a plan and a way to build peace of mind and freedom of choice. In this course you learn to set achievable saving goals, save on daily and fixed costs, shop smartly, see through discounts, explore extra income, choose the right savings account, build an emergency fund and protect your savings. Universal in design: you learn the principles and look up the rules of your own country. Each lesson has four tabs: lesson, practice, exercises and going further.
