About the Workshop
Teachers often regard themselves as unlikely candidates for financial success, chiefly because they earn low starting salaries. But people of modest means can build wealth over time if they adhere to certain simple strategies. Dr. Schug introduces three rules of wealth building by involving the participants in an entertaining "true-false" quiz. He stresses the connection between principles of economics and personal finance. He provides teachers with practical tips that they can begin applying in their personal decision-making. Numerous teachers have benefited from the tools learned at workshops conducted by Dr. Schug. DO NOT MISS THIS EXCITING WORKSHOP.
