Financing Education, Auto, and Housing

Some of the most significant financial decisions you will ever make involve how you finance education, transportation, and housing. These are not small choices. They carry real costs, long-term consequences, and in many cases, emotional weight that can make it difficult to think clearly. A wrong turn on any one of them can follow you financially for years. In this course you will build the knowledge and confidence to approach these major milestones strategically — understanding not just how to borrow, but when, why, and at what true cost. You'll also learn that borrowing isn't always the answer, and that knowing your options is the first step toward making a decision you won't regret. From navigating student aid and avoiding predatory loans, to evaluating whether to rent or buy, to getting the most out of an auto purchase or lease — this course meets you at the moments that matter most and gives you the tools to move forward with clarity and confidence.
