Asked before enrolling.

Who is this course for?

Anyone with a salary and no plan for it yet. No finance background is assumed, and nothing in it depends on following the markets.

What do I need before I start?

A browser and a Cashmere Pocket. Every exercise is done in your own Pocket, on your own numbers, and the course checks your Pocket to confirm each exercise is done.

Are classes recorded?

No. Classes are taught live by a person. The slides stay in the portal to read back at any time, with the checkpoints under them.

What if I miss a class?

The deck and its checkpoints stay open, so you can catch up in your own time. Missing a class does not stop you from completing the course.

Is this financial advice?

No. The course teaches you how to think about money and read your own position. It never offers a view on what to buy.

What do I leave with?

A completion record naming the course version you were taught, which you can export. It is not an accredited qualification.

A financial independence plan in your own numbers: sourced assumptions, a saved scenario, one defended decision and the next 90 days.
