MONEY HABITS
A financial literacy program with personal and booth rent finances.
Money Habits will prepare your students for real life. The #1 reason students drop out is because they mismanage their money while in school. Adding a financial literacy program to your current curriculum will help your school succeed by:
- Impacting your Gainful Employment numbers.
- Decreasing your student drops.
- Lowering your loan default rates.
Students who drop out are four times more likely to default on their student loans than students who graduate. (According to a study by OneClass.)
THE PROGRAM
Money Habits is a 7-hour, self-led financial literacy program with six modules. This financial foundations program is specifically created for the professional beauty industry. It gives your students the personal and business financial skills needed to be successful in life and their career. With more and more students deciding to go to booth or suite rental after graduation, Money Habits now includes a Booth Rental Finances module.
Your students will learn how to:
- Easily budget to feel in control of their finances, especially planning with irregular paychecks and tips unique to this industry.
- Build financial stability by learning techniques to prioritize savings and plan for large expenses to avoid debt and stress.
- Begin building their retirement nest egg and need-to-know basics on investing.
- Generate a custom debt payoff plan to confidently see their debt go away while saving money on interest and learn how debt works.
- Feel confident about their financial decisions by balancing guilt-free, fun purchases with hitting their individual financial goals.
- Set up their business to make money.
- Create a profitable money mindset as a business owner.
Set your students up for success. Get your students practicing strong financial habits to keep them in school and out of money trouble after graduation. Parents will love it, and your school will prosper.
