    On the global perspective supply and demand is controlled by the money supply which is fiat money.

    Supply and demand is supposed to be the regulator of the free market, when it is less free as it is now, production is placed in a catch 22 - no margins.

    Collectivism contracts, other forms are socialism, nazisim, leninism, facism - all just "ism's" of collectivism sucking cash out of private sector. On the other hand the public sector prints and consumes money causing inflation and a hidden tax. This squeeze allows only to focus on needs, not wants.

    Even the best companies are squeezed by collectivism, the good side is a re-focus on costs and efficiency.

    The cost is loss of national and individual sovereignty - the goal of collectivism.

    the main issue with "personal finance" schools is that, like the vast majority of financial advisors, they have their own agenda in the background (selling insurance or sepcific mutual funds for many of them)

    I think personal finance should be mandatory course diuring school for every kid at around 18 years old.

    There are many free personal finance resources available (I live in Canada, so it might be different in the US), they offer help to look at your financial picture and budget creation.

    One problem is that people do not want to learn finance, because they don't want to see their actual financial portrait. They prefer to just look at the monthly payment and cashflow and don't want to see that their $70k boat, when put on their HELOC, will be paid $150k in the end...

    So the question remains if you started this school would anyone show up without being forced too . I hope so but im not sure, hopefully I am proved wrong.

    Just when I got all pumped up about the idea I notice this, and it is true.

    I think those people are more up for something where getting out of debt or whatever is GUARANTEED to them, they're always on the lookout for the sure thing, or totally irrational thing like lottery, but getting education...hmm..I'm not sure.

    Maybe with a great pitch that conforms to their ideal to get everything on a plate.

    I've actually taken a course in "Cashflow College" in Israel around 2 years ago: "Real Estate Investing"

    The College is offering classes in a variety of subjects and levels within, such as Real Estate, Business Entrepreneurship, Internet Business, Paper asset investing and even general "Road to happiness" courses.
    However I dont think it was a government recognized institute at the time.

    I dont recall a personal finance course there, but their other classes were doing good, and last time I checked they had 3 branches in different cities.
    Overall it was a really nice experience for me: the people who taught the RE investing classes were accomplished and professional: RE entrepreneurs, developer, lawyer, accountant, and appraiser.

    So something similiar is successful somewhere

    This could work very well in my opinion.

    I'm fairly certian another recession is on the cards within the next 12-18 months. So if you marketed this prior as a way to prepare and protect assets and then once its hit teach how to cut back and survive and not fall victim to the next one by learning why it happens I'm fairly sure it will draw people in.

    I was also wondering how you would charge for this? Would people pay for a block of lessons or would it by on a course by course basis?

    If you aquired top speakers and relevent course content where attendees make a noticeable financial improvement by attending you're onto a winner in my opinion.

    So let's brainstorm. What would be needed?

    - location
    - book(s) or handouts
    - proxima or projector?

    Can you think of anything else?
