- General Assembly is one of the most powerfully impactful companies for career and life-changing courses (you can get a $5k certificate that will get you on the track to a $100k career in tech instead of a degree, I kid you not), workshops, and events. They have free events that are incredible ways to listen in on big money, big idea, big personality, and big creativity talks. This alone can really change your wealth mindset game.
- Check with your local public library on whether they have a program to offer free online classes, courses, and certifications with Lynda.com; save a monthly $30 fee. This is a powerful resource which will get you covered in an incredibly broad range of career fields and business knowledge. Information Systems, Leadership, Project Management, SEO, Digital Marketing, Small Business Accounting, Communications, Mentoring, and so much more.

Apps
- Betterment (this link will refer you and unlock an offer to have $5,000 of your investment balance managed free for a year after you sign up and make your first deposit)*
- No account minimum and charges 0.25% of assets under management annually – Nerd Wallet review
- What I like:
- Socially responsible investing (SRI) portfolio
- Super easy access to a Roth IRA, which Suze Orman love, love, loves
- Acorns (this link will give you $5 to get started and play with)*
- I am giving this product a shoutout not just because Sean works with this company but because I started using the Acorns app years before we met. Acorns is an app for stealth investing. While you are buying a latte or your groceries, the Acorns app sneaks the change rounded to the nearest dollar into an investment account that can be customized on a scale of aggression of the investor’s choosing, from meek to mighty to… all in! This is a fantastic app for people who want to invest without even thinking about it.
Books*
- You can utilize the wonderful resource that is your local public library. In addition to checking out physical copies, you can check to see if they have Overdrive where you can find audio and digital books or some other digital lending service. These books listed are wonderful resources to add to your personal library too! You can purchase through these Amazon links (affiliate) or from your favorite neighborhood bookstore.
