Finanical Literricy
I have learned a lot in just one quarter. It feels like a small taste of what is yet to come in this program as well as in my life. While reading through this lesson I had some foresight into what my future will be like as an adult independent of my parents. I will have to track and manage my own incoming and outgoing funds. I learned about some handy tools to help me with this, my favorite among them was a spending journal. I was born in the digital age however I prefer to write things down and keep them organized in files in a box, raw materials that I can pick up at any time. When I started using a spending journal I saw where I could be better in my spending habits to save more. I am already seeing a difference after only a of couple weeks. I talked with my mentor and he suggested I look at the money map Wells Fargo offers and that to was extremely helpful. I also learned more about Financial institutions, I knew about cost and spending but security was new to me. I definitely feel safer knowing the FDIC insures depositors. I was interested to learn about the different types of accounts banks offer and how to go about managing an account. I am working towards running my own business  and I will need all of these tools to succeed. Thanks for the great support. 

I look forward to applying this new information in my near future.
