A practical framework for understanding finances, taking control of your financial future, and learning the steps that align with the wealth-building process.
Embedded Files
The Financial Literacy From Scratch Course teaches the financial side of the game.
It helps people understand money, cash flow, budgeting, saving, investing, compound interest, inflation, credit, credit-card debt, fixed loans, amortization, equity, entrepreneurship, and the financial systems that affect our everyday lives.
The course is intentionally divided into short, digestible video lessons.
A person may spend three minutes, five minutes, seven minutes, or ten minutes at a time learning one part of the financial game. Each lesson serves as another building block. As the learner continues through the course, the information builds upon itself and helps them recognize how the different financial concepts connect.
Someone does not have to understand everything in one sitting. The goal is to consistently receive the information, one lesson at a time, until the larger financial picture begins to make sense.
The course makes the information understandable and accessible to anyone willing to watch, pay attention, and listen.
SeeYourDollar.com helps make the information practical.
Throughout the course, learners are introduced to financial tools that allow them to enter numbers, create examples, examine results, and see how the concepts operate in real-life situations.
Instead of only hearing someone explain cash flow, a learner can create a cash-flow example.
Instead of only hearing about loan interest, a learner can examine an amortization schedule.
Instead of only hearing about credit-card minimum payments, compound interest, business profit, or equity, a learner can enter information and see the calculations for themselves.
The website helps move the learner from hearing the information to working with it.
It was also designed to remain useful after someone completes the course. A person can return to the website whenever they need assistance evaluating a real financial situation involving their own cash flow, loans, credit-card payments, business numbers, investments, equity, or other financial decisions.
The Financial Literacy From Scratch Workbook provides additional guidance and structure, but someone does not need the workbook to access the course, receive the information, or help us circulate it.
A parent, educator, mentor, family member, or community leader can introduce someone to the course simply by sitting down with them, watching a video, and asking three questions:
1) “In your own words, what did you understand from the information discussed in the video?”
2) “What did you think about the information you learned?”
3) “If the lesson connects to one of the tools on SeeYourDollar.com, can you use either a real-life situation or an example of your own to demonstrate how the concept works?”
The first question encourages the learner to explain what they understood in their own words. The second encourages them to reflect on and discuss what they learned. When applicable, the third challenges them to use the website and turn the information into a practical example.
Adults, educators, mentors, and people with more financial experience will often develop their own follow-up questions based on their knowledge and real-life experiences.
However, we understand that everyone may not know what questions to ask. That is one of the primary reasons we created the workbook.
The workbook provides a simple and guided learning process:
Watch the video.
Pay attention and listen.
Answer the review questions.
Complete the website activity when one is provided.
The review questions help check how closely the learner was paying attention and how well they understood the lesson. The website activities then help the learner move beyond basic recall and begin applying the information through practical examples.
SUPPORT FOR SELF-GUIDED LEARNERS
The workbook is also valuable for someone completing the course independently.
A self-guided learner may not have a parent, educator, or mentor available to ask questions and check their comprehension after every lesson. The workbook helps fill that role by providing questions that encourage the learner to recall, explain, and apply what they watched.
The QR codes also allow the learner to move directly between the workbook, lesson videos, narrated summaries, and SeeYourDollar.com tools without having to search for the appropriate resource.
In that sense, the workbook serves as a guided learning companion. It provides some of the structure and direction that a mentor or instructor might offer while allowing the learner to move through the course at their own pace.
The workbook does not create access to the information. The information is already accessible.
The workbook provides structure for anyone who wants additional assistance guiding someone else through the learning process.
Inside The Workbook: How Each Lesson Works
Inside The Workbook: How Each Lesson Works
The workbook follows a consistent process throughout each chapter:
READ OR LISTEN TO THE OPENING.
The learner begins with a short introduction explaining what the upcoming lesson will cover and what they should pay attention to.
Each opening also includes a QR code that connects the learner to a narrated version. The time displayed beside the QR code shows approximately how long the narration will take.
WATCH THE VIDEO.
The learner watches the corresponding Financial Literacy From Scratch video before completing the questions or activities.
The QR code printed beside each lesson directs the learner to the specific video connected to that lesson. The time printed alongside the lesson title shows the length of that video, allowing the learner, parent, educator, or mentor to know how much time to set aside.
ANSWER THE REVIEW QUESTIONS.
After watching the lesson, the learner answers questions designed to check how closely they were listening and how well they understood the information.
The learner should be able to answer the questions based upon the information presented in the corresponding video. These questions help gauge their comprehension before they continue.
COMPLETE THE WEBSITE ACTIVITY.
When a lesson connects to one of the financial tools on SeeYourDollar.com, the activity page includes a QR code that directs the learner to the specific website tool needed for that example.
The learner follows the provided steps, enters the information into the website, examines the results, and uses those results to complete the missing answers.
READ OR LISTEN TO THE CLOSING SUMMARY.
The learner reviews a short closing that reinforces the main lesson, explains why the information matters, and connects it to the next part of the course.
The closing summaries also include QR codes linking to narrated versions. As with the openings, the displayed time lets the learner know the approximate length of the narration.
CONTINUE TO THE NEXT LESSON.
The same process is repeated as each lesson and chapter builds upon the information introduced before it.
The QR codes serve as built-in navigation throughout the workbook. Depending upon the page, they connect the learner directly to the relevant lesson video, narrated opening or closing summary, or practical financial tool on SeeYourDollar.com.
“Generational Wealth:
Rich From The Inside Out”
-The GOAL is to shift the Mindset and Redefine what “WEALTH” truly is (BEYOND MONEY)-starting with Character Development, Supreme Thinking, Prosperous Values, and Honorable Principles
(Audio Version: 2hrs & 10mins)
Generational Wealth: Rich From the Inside Out addresses the character-development and principles side of the mission.
The Financial Literacy From Scratch course helps people understand the financial game. Generational Wealth: Rich From the Inside Out focuses more directly on developing the person who must participate in that game and apply the information.
Financial knowledge alone is not enough to produce lasting success.
A person may understand money but still struggle to manage it without discipline. They may recognize an opportunity but lose it because of inconsistency. They may begin building wealth but fail to sustain it without integrity, accountability, humility, patience, gratitude, and sound decision-making.
Our goal is not only to help people become more financially informed. We want to help people understand how to succeed the right way and build their lives upon the right principles.
Together, the financial-education and character-development resources address both sides of the wealth-building process:
Understanding the financial game and developing the person responsible for playing it.
“Cash Flow Made Simple”
-The GOAL is to remove confusion and provide a clear, easy-to-understand explanation of what “CASHFLOW” is and How to Take Control of it!
(Audio Version: 23mins)
Cash Flow Made Simple provides a focused introduction to one of the most important foundations of financial health: understanding and managing cash flow.
The book explains the basic cash-flow formula—income minus expenses equals cash flow—and helps readers recognize the three possible results: positive cash flow, negative cash flow, or breaking even.
Using straightforward language and relatable sports analogies, the book shows how cash flow functions like an energy source. Positive cash flow creates the financial strength needed to move forward, take advantage of opportunities, and begin building wealth. Negative cash flow drains financial resources, while breaking even may keep someone afloat without allowing them to make meaningful progress.
Within the See Your Dollar ecosystem, Cash Flow Made Simple serves as an accessible starting point for understanding why tracking income, monitoring expenses, and consistently maintaining positive cash flow are essential. It complements SeeYourDollar.com by encouraging readers to move from understanding the concept to calculating and managing their own cash flow.
Whether someone is starting from scratch, building a business, managing a household, or maintaining something they inherited, the fundamental requirement remains the same: lasting financial progress depends on the ability to create and sustain positive cash flow.
