As important as it is to earn lots of money, managing your finances is paramount to you being able to achieve financial freedom. Once you obtain financial freedom, you would be able to escape rat race, have more free time to do what you really love, go on vacation as long as you wish and live lifestyle you wish!

Educate yourself to achieve financial freedom. Teach your children on importance of managing their finances since their school most probably would not do so. There are no shortages of resources around for you to learn and teach. Money is a double edge sword. It could make or break you. But if you could master skill of managing it, money would be on your side.

Embark on a journey to achieve financial freedom. Educate yourself. Be financially free.

The educational option many working adults choose is a career college. Career colleges offer flexible scheduling and have proper resources to greatly reduce waiting lists, if they have any at all. The biggest drawback is they cost more to attend. Consider a career college to be like a private community college. However, flexible scheduling and shorter time to graduation compensate for higher initial cost of a career college.

How much will career training cost?

This is probably most difficult question. If you’re like most working adults, you don’t have an eight month emergency reserve fund stashed away but, you do have credit card bills, a car payment, possibly children and that nagging monthly rent/mortgage payment. Chances are you’re not in a position to quit your existing job. Due to flexible class schedules you’ll still be able to work and keep that income. Student loans or grants are a possibility to pay for tuition. Also, check if your company has a tuition reimbursement plan. Even though you’re thinking about leaving your job, your company may have a need for career you’re interested in training in.

The bottom line is if you don’t feel satisfied with your current job, you don’t have to stay with it for rest of your working years. There are a number of great careers available that pay well and require less than two years of training time.
