Affordable Online Tools for Learning Financial Planning When You Need It the Most

Due to the threat of the recent global coronavirus outbreak, a lot of people have found themselves stuck inside their homes for weeks.
With plenty of free time in their hands, people can certainly benefit from using this forced time off work to do productive activities and work on themselves.
One good way to do so is to utilize online resources to learn the ins and outs of personal finance. Here are some recommended websites and courses people can take for free or for a small fee.
Ellevest Office Hours

Techcrunch | Ellevest was founded by entrepreneur Sallie Lee Krawcheck in 2014
Take a break from scrolling down influencers and celebrities’ Instagram pages and swing by the Ellevest page to tune in to their live and pre-scheduled question and answer sessions where people can send in their money and finance queries.
The company’s website is also a great resource for material on pressing issues like the current stock market decline and the loss of income caused by the lockdowns amidst the coronavirus pandemic.
Ramit Sethi’s Fireside Chats
After tuning in on Ellevest’s Instagram live stream, people might want to continue learning by hopping on personal finance advisor Ramit Sethi’s nightly ‘fireside chats’ on the same platform.
The ‘I Will Teach You To Be Rich’ author offers free tips on a variety of topics from money to careers to psychology every 8:30 pm (Eastern time).
