Eric Brotman: [00:00:00] This is Eric Brotman, the host of Don’t Retire… Graduate!: the podcast that teaches you how to advance into retirement rather than retreating. Welcome to our final office hours of season three. The 2020-2021 school year at Don’t Retire… Graduate! is over and I have your final assignment for the summer. We’ve been working to put together an online course for Don’t Retire… Graduate! that helps take the book and the workbook to a new level.

And we’ve created Retire University. The program is live now, and if you go to BFGuniversity.com, you’ll have the ability to enroll in the course. When you go to BFGuniversity.com, you’ll find there are two courses available. One is a basic course on financial literacy. It’s great for kids from middle school and high school into college, and even beyond for young adults or just folks who want to refresher, and the course is free.

Don’t Retire… Graduate!’s freshman [00:01:00] year is now available. We are offering a deep discount for the early adopters. And not only that, for folks who enroll in the program and complete the program, you’ll be able to join a special Facebook group, which will be our Dean’s list. That’s coming this fall. So your homework assignment is go back, listen to some of the episodes of our podcast from the first three seasons.

Make sure you take some of those extra credit assignments and the actionable advice from our guests and from our office hours. And if you haven’t already, either pick up a copy of the book and workbook so that you have a summer project to work on your own financial freedom plan or sign up for the online course, which comes with the ebook and a workbook. So you can begin to build this on your own with not only actionable steps and worksheets, but also some simple quizzes and all the extra credit assignments you need to begin your education and your financial literacy. The freshman year represents eight courses. It’s cash management, [00:02:00] debt management, risk management and insurance, and the beginning stages of financial planning. I do hope you’ll check it out. We will be back this fall with a whole new season, a whole new slate of guests. And in September, we’ll be launching yet again and excited to go. But for now, summer vacation is a great time to get your toes in the sand and to take it easy.

It’s also a great time to curl up with a good book. And it’s a fine time to think a little bit about where you want to be and to spend what I hope is a little bit of downtime also doing some self-improvement or some where some homework on your own. So I encourage you to check out Don’t Retire… Graduate!: Freshman Year. It’s available online at bfguniversity.com.

I thank you for listening to another season. Not only of Don’t Retire… Graduate!, but also of office hours. I wish you an incredible summer and I’ll see you in the fall when the school bell rings. For now, this is Eric Brotman reminding you Don’t Retire… Graduate!
