From the Financial Literacy Program, I was successfully able to increase my knowledge on investments. I started investing after the course and realized a newfound confidence in my choices. Furthermore, as a beginner, I was able to acquire 23-28% profit over a span of two years.
I consider myself fortunate to have completed the financial literacy course taught by Jay Falcone. He challenged our creativity and curiosity in the world of financial concepts and practices. As an entrepreneur, some of the key learnings that helped me better manage my business were understanding the concept of realized and unrealized gains and losses and how to calculate net worth. I also learned about which stage of my business to change the structure from a personal small business to a corporation to maximize growth and reduce taxes.
As new immigrants to this country, my wife and I were very fortunate to attend the Financial Literacy Program with Jay Falcone. We have learned a lot since then. We managed to improve our credit score and paid off most of our significant debt. To this date, we still ask Jay for advice on financial matters and “the way of life” here in Canada. Thank you very much, our friend.
The Financial Literacy Program (FLP) helped me understand the Canadian financial basics. I also learnt a lot about different investment strategies and how to evaluate a company's stock. With this knowledge, I have built up significant investments in the stock market.
As a result of taking Jay’s Financial Program, I’ve learned how to budget and better control my finances. I’ve also acquired an appreciation of stocks and general investments. Every bit of the course has helped me better understand money and finances. I am so grateful to Jay for giving me this opportunity.
Since taking the FLP, I was able to develop my short-and long-term goals and I have more confidence in my financial plan. These are some of my other learnings: I have a better understanding of taxes that will help me save money in the long run. I know how to get my credit report and ways to improve my score. I have some ideas on starting my own business. Finally, I’ve learned how to read financial statements and more comfortable investing.
Financial literacy wasn’t taught in school where I attended. Coming to Canada as an immigrant wasn’t easy and attending the Financial Literary Program has helped me “big time” in dealing with my finances and the goals that I have set for myself and my family. Since starting the course, I have developed my short- and long-term goals and review them frequently with my husband. Jay is an excellent instructor, and I am grateful to him and the courses he taught us. He’s helped us become more financially literate and developed a better wealth mindset as well. His works need be shared with all worldwide so that people can be more prosperous in life and in turn build better communities.
Since taking the course, I have a better understanding of general business and financial concepts. I now feel confident enough to move from lower to mediumrisk investments and thereby better diversifying my portfolio. In addition, the Program definitely helped me organize my financial habits and establish a routine of watching the business news with a renewed interest and understanding.
After enrolling in the Financial Literacy Program facilitated by Jay, I was really impressed and positively impacted by the training. The courses were very detailed, and the lessons were delivered in a simple and easy to understand manner. Before I took the program, I used to buy stocks based on recommendations from selfacclaimed “stock market gurus” without doing proper research and I have gotten my fingers burnt severely. After going through the course on Investments with Jay, I now know how to do due research and analyze companies before buying their stock. This new knowledge has boosted my confidence in self-directed investing, and I am even able to teach others what I have learnt!
After my wife and I attended Jay’s Financial Literacy Program, we were able to set clear goals and periodically review them to ensure we were on track. One of our goals was to purchase a rental property with a 50% down payment. We realized that goal by taking possession on September, 2021. We have also diversified our investment portfolio from Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to different stocks.
I enrolled in the Program after hearing about it in my English for new Canadians class. Since taking the Financial sessions, I’ve learned about budgets and developing more reasonable spending habits. The class on tax-advantaged investments was very interesting and eye-opening and as a result, I have opened an RRSP (Registered Retirement Savings Plan).
Jay explains each topic in the course clearly and I’ve been able to significantly increase my financial literacy. Now when I read or watch the business news, I can relate and understand it a lot better. With Jay’s help, I’ve learned a lot about Canadian banking, income tax, the importance of making financial plans, taking care of my credit, investments, saving for retirement, insurance and fraud. The best part is that Jay inspired and encouraged us to keep on learning and to apply all the learnings in our everyday life. I am truly grateful to our mentor Jay Falcone for inspiring us and educating us.
