The B-C-Ds of Money: Budget, Credit, and Debt

You know the A-B-Cs, so now it’s time to focus on the B, C, and Ds of your money: budgets, credit, and debt. These three areas tend to be obstacles for many people’s personal finances, especially freelancers, and because they’re so time consuming, you may not be growing your business as much as you would like. Join Freelancers U and Galia Gichon to learn how to get control of your B, C, and Ds so you can go back to making money.

Learn how to:

• Budget for short- and long-term expenditures
• Save money and pay off debt, without cutting out everything you enjoy
• Deal with your personal debt, including how to pay it down and manage it going forward
• Clean up your credit so you are in the best possible financial position
