Financial Literacy Foundation Course - May 2025
$1,500 per month saved
In May 2025, Thrive For Life® successfully launched its inaugural Financial Literacy Foundation course in Elgin, Texas. This four-week program was designed to equip participants with essential money management skills — from budgeting and debt reduction to saving strategies and building financial confidence.
We’re proud to share that students reported increased confidence in their financial decisions and a better understanding of how to take control of their money. Nearly $1,500 in monthly savings was uncovered among just three of the participants — savings that is now being applied toward debt reduction and wealth building. Imagine what you can find!
This life-changing opportunity was made possible thanks to the generous sponsorship of Millie’s on Main, a local business in Elgin, TX, who graciously provided the facility for our class. We are grateful for their commitment to empowering our community through education and partnership.
More foundational courses are already being scheduled, and due to growing interest, we’re expanding our reach throughout Bastrop County and beyond. At the same time, Thrive For Life® is preparing to launch Level 2 training in the second half of 2025 — with a focus on investment strategies, asset protection, and long-term wealth building.
Our goal is to empower individuals to move from financial stress to financial strength — and ultimately, from Literacy to Legacy.
