Topic 12 MINDSET CHANGES

• Just thinking about financial freedom is not enough. We have to motivate yourself to do it. In this topic, we will explore the mindset of an independent, financially secure person. Although we have already covered some of this is Topic 4, Topic 12 is a more in-depth look into how you can motivate yourself into developing the required mindset for financial freedom.

Topic 13 SCAM & MONEY GAMES

• If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. That’s the age-old saying to warn you away from financial scams. Here, we will show you how money scams operate, and how you can avoid falling prey to one. There’s a reason why money is not easy to earn, so always do your research and be wary if the returns are too good to be true.

Topic 14 STARTUP AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP

• Starting your own business can be an appealing concept for some, and terrifying for others. If you want to strike out on your own, especially after graduating, you have to weigh many considerations. Are you a multitasker? Do you favour stability? Can your passion be turned into a business? And most importantly, are you willing to risk it all? This topic will introduce you to the concept of entrepreneurship and whether it is right for you.

Topic 15 INCOME CREATION

• Earning money is not easy. However, you can make it (slightly) easier by leveraging on your resources. Leveraging simply means to multiply one’s efforts, like how a lever is used to move much heavier objects. By using your time, connections, and knowledge, you can leverage and multiply your income in an easier fashion. This topic will show you how.

Topic 17 INSURANCE

• In case of emergency, insurance is your shield against financial ruin. Though we covered emergency funds in Topic 8, here we will discuss how insurance can help you should the worst happen. While you may think insurance is unsuitable for a student on a limited budget, paying into a medical plan will pay off in the long run.

Topic 18 CREDIT CARD

• Credit cards can be most useful money management tool in your arsenal; or it can be the most ruinous. Depending on how you use it, credit cards offer many advantages in managing your money. However, if you overspend on your credit card, it can quickly drain your bank account. Here, we will discuss the topic of credit cards for students, including tips on using your credit card, as well as how to protect yourself from credit card fraud.
