What an amazing initiative. Financial literacy is so important.

There are also non profit sites that help students such as

I had a paper route when I was a kid. My parents never drove me around

Acquiring more student loan debt to take a class on student loan debt?

They should learn these financial skills at home well before they head off to university life

Maybe the students will come to realize how the University is “fleecing” them!

I'm not going to feel bad for someone who takes out debt to go to Harvard or any ivy league school it's their choice

I was taught personal finance in high school! We learned how to balance a checkbook… Tells you how old I am… And how we dummy down our education! I learned about interest rate on credit cards and how it could help or hurt your credit rating. In vocational training! VOCT...

Harvard has over a $30 BILLION endowment! Reduce the damn tuition.

It’d be better if they lowered the cost of college.

Actually classes like this should start in middle school. If the kids learned early on that money trees don’t exist they might not have so many problems.

“Here, let me charge you for an extra class about how to deal with our absurdly high prices that you’ll never be able to match...what? Fix the problem of our unaffordable tuition? This is much better!” This is the housing bubble all over again, which will pop when nobody can pay

Euuu

What? These smarties cant realize the debt to income ratio on their salaries?. How are they then calculating companies’ income to debt ratio involving millions or billions of dollars?

Or you could lower tuition. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

Don't borrow more than you can pay back. It ain't that hard.

Offline means secured, offline means - what ever happens with your exchange, your crypto assets are secured. Get a best hardware wallet before it sold’s out Ledger Nano X , is proven to be the best !

Such a novel idea. Finally catching up with the real world

Harvard is supposed to be a centre of excellence and not expected to waste time in solving a wrong problem!! It's a shame !!!

I'm going to rape you but I'm also going to offer you a free class to help you deal with the trauma of being raped. You're welcome.
