Objectives: 1) to learn the basic vocabulary of the financial world; 2) to develop a sound general knowledge of the structure and workings of the financial system in NZ; 3) to learn how local and global events can/do impact upon individual financial well-being.
Expectations: 1) to be able to read articles/books containing financial terminology with better understanding; 2) to be able to communicate better with people who work in financial institutions; 3) to have more confidence in making financial decisions because I understand more of the "why" and "how", rather than just the "what".
