 Guides to Independence
We believe that learning about money and credit is the way to financial
independence. We want you to be smart about your money because your financial
success is music to our ears.
For each 10-20 minute
Guides to
Independence online money course you complete
on our Web site, you'll earn one free music download from the eMusic® library
of more than 1.4 million songs.
Designed for teenagers and young adults, the courses are quick, interactive,
and fun. Our young narrators will show you how to buy a car, use a credit card,
reach your financial goals, and other useful information. Then, at the end of
each course, eligible users can sign on and receive a certificate with a free
eMusic® download, which can be redeemed immediately!
