In this course, Travis Callaway will make money and the financial decisions we all encounter simple to understand, using practical examples and real-life scenarios to help students prepare for their financial futures. The course includes six lessons, each focusing on a separate piece of the overall financial puzzle:

- Banking Basics
- Budgeting and Spending Wisely
- Credit, Debt, and Credit Cards
- Saving and Investing for the Future

Travis earned an MBA in finance from Durham University and holds the Chartered Financial Analyst designation. He has worked as a private equity analyst, a senior portfolio management analyst, a director of private equity, a managing director of venture capital, the vice president of finance for a technology start-up, and a part-time chief financial officer for several companies.
