The Center for Positive Aging at National-Louis University offers you a free on-line course to enhance your financial literacy.  

Wi$e Up is an eight chapter curriculum that includes the following:  Money for Life, Money Math, Money Basics, Credit in a Money World, Savings Basics, Insurance and Risk Management, Becoming an Investor, and Achieving Financial Security.  The program is designed for Generation X & Y women, but it may be delivered to adult women and men of all ages.  It is offered in a classroom setting with workbooks or as an on-line course.

The goals of the program are to decrease debt and/or increase savings and investments.  We encourage Wi$e Up participants to complete the required Chapter(s) 4, 5 and/or 7 and complete the pre-assessment and post-assessment for each chapter completed to assist with program tracking.
