ECON 3333 Building Financial Resilience: A Generational Approach to Wealth Creation

Building Financial Resilience: A Generational Approach to Wealth Creation balances the practical aspects of advanced personal finance with broader societal and generational impacts, making it appealing to a diverse range of students and professions. Financial resilience highlights the core goal of the course to equip individuals and families with the ability to withstand financial challenges, which applies across the wealth spectrum. The focus on generational wealth-building broadens the appeal beyond just immediate financial planning. It emphasizes long-term strategies across topics that include connections between income and wealth, poverty and wealth, financial fragility and resilience, wealth gaps and inequalities, income mobility, generational mindsets, and sustaining financial wellness. Taught in a 7-week online format, the course makes extensive use of case study simulations, multimedia content, data analysis projects, discussion forums, and expert guest lectures.
