Hi, I’m Michael Wagner; thank you for reading this blog. There is nothing that drives me more each and every day than helping young adults prepare for the real world and compete in the new global economy.
While I am a strong proponent for young adults to excel in their formal education, I feel a proper education is not complete without a separate set of 'life skills.' With the changing emphasis in education, the demands of high school graduation requirements and the entrance standards for post secondary education, too often life skills, including financial literacy, are neglected or underdeveloped. The results can be devastating; by the time they are in their early twenties, many young adults are already in severe financial distress.
Mastering personal finances will be one of the most important skills that you can and will need to control. That is why I have written a book that addresses the basics of personal money management and the importance for you to learn, understand and practice these skills from the start. I speak regularly to young adults, providing a road map to a life of financial security and success.
I hope this blog will help you take control of your money. Please visit regularly for information, timely topics and more.
