Common Questions About Financial Planning
How much time should I expect to spend learning each week?
+Most participants spend 2-3 hours per week engaging with course materials and completing practical exercises. This includes about 45 minutes of content review and 1-2 hours applying concepts to your own financial situation. The program is designed to fit around work and family commitments.
What if my income is irregular or I'm self-employed?
+Irregular income requires different budgeting approaches, and we address this specifically in Module 4. You'll learn to create buffer systems, manage seasonal fluctuations, and build emergency funds that accommodate variable earnings. About 30% of our participants have non-traditional income patterns.
