Dollars and Cents Make Sense: A Basic Guide to Successful Financial Management (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692960066)

Shon Thomas started off in the financial industry with a major financial institution as a credit card customer service representative, when she was 19 years old. Here is where she first learned how credit should be handled. While being trained for various positions throughout her life, she retained all of the education she was given by her employers, and took copious notes to perform her job functions at the highest standard possible. After obtaining such a wealth of knowledge from positions such as Branch Supervisor, Collections Rep., Credit Card Customer Service, Senior Credit Analyst, and many more, Shon realized she was sitting on a wealth of knowledge. Everything she learned, she applied to her own finances, and has been able to maintain successful financial management throughout her lifetime. Since Shon knows the ins and outs of many financial and credit systems, she is able to provide you with this wealth of knowledge that will help you to achieve successful financial management as well. What good is knowledge if you don't share it? She has been teaching this course for almost a decade to close friends and family, to people who hear about it and want to learn how to properly manage their own finances, to incoming college freshmen, and to inmates in the prison system. So, with over 15 years of experience and knowledge, after writing this course and teaching it for almost a decade, she is now able to provide it to you in an effort to prevent you from making costly mistakes. Shon has always had a passion for her community and trying to correct social injustices. Since she has seen so many people mismanage money in her neighborhood and the surrounding communities, she realized that offering to financially educate those same people is one way to help her community. This type of course isn't offered in high schools, although it should be since we all need to know how to properly manage money. She has tried to create a price point that will allow this course to be accessible to everyone. She genuinely desires to be able to reach everyone with this knowledge in order for them to be able to apply it, so that there can be a shift in the social class structure.
