Smart Money Habits: Personal Finance for Real Life

+
Thursday, 6 August 2026 Whitecliffe University of Applied Sciences

Money decisions shape everyday life, from the way we spend and save to how we plan for bigger goals. Yet many people only learn about personal finance after making costly mistakes. In this practical webinar, Prof. Dr. Erick Behar Villegas, expert in economics and business strategy, will explore the psychology behind good and bad money habits. The session will focus on real-life financial situations, including credit card debt, interest payments, saving habits, and the small decisions that can either support or weaken long-term financial wellbeing. Designed especially for students, young professionals, and anyone curious about business and financial decision-making, this webinar offers an accessible introduction to the kind of thinking used in business, management, and entrepreneurship: understanding risk, planning ahead, and making informed choices.
