Details about this class

Ready to take control of your financial future? My personal finance course is designed to empower you with the tools and confidence you need to make smart financial choices today and down the road. We’ll go beyond just budgets—this is about mastering savings strategies, managing credit, understanding taxes, investing wisely, and navigating risk. You’ll walk away with a comprehensive financial plan and real-world skills that can transform how you handle money for life.

I bring my experience in strengths-based career planning and business education to every class. My teaching style is all about personalized feedback and applying what we learn to real-life scenarios that matter to you. Whether you’re looking to manage day-to-day finances or build a foundation for long-term wealth and independence, I’ll be there to guide you every step of the way.

I’m Dr. Michael Hohn, and I believe that every student brings something valuable to the table. My classroom is a place where your unique strengths are celebrated, and your confidence and self-awareness can thrive. Join me, and let’s take the first step toward your financial independence together!
