Ashley L. Cunningham Creates Free Course to Help 10K+ Teens Become Financially Savvy Adults

Ashley Loveless Cunningham is a 7-figure business coach who teaches how to leverage personal and business credit to generate wealth. Through the ‘New Credit Inc University’ Facebook platform, she offers free information to help entrepreneurs grow their business and she has recently released a free financial literacy course that teens can access  to become financially empowered adults.

Q: Why should it be a priority to teach teens financial literacy?

Ashley: Parents assume many roles, however, one of the most significant jobs they take on is teaching.  Financial literacy, however, doesn’t always receive the attention it needs to be given. It’s important to impart the appropriate financial knowledge to kids early on because making poor financial decisions can have significant consequences.  Early financial literacy instruction can help your children avoid these typical errors and may also lead to better money management and a higher net worth in the future. Fortunately, your teen can start off on the right foot with just a few fundamentals of money management that they will need over the coming months and years.

Q: What tips would you give to readers for maintaining solid finances during challenging seasons?

Ashley: The advice I would share is to pay down debt and live below your means and SAVE.  Take a hard look at your finances and create a monthly budget. Limit your expenses, particularly big-ticket items. Sometimes, it’s easier to start small. Try cutting back on meals out, reducing the number of streaming services you have or refraining from making any major financial commitments you don’t immediately need, such as going on vacation or paying for a months-long membership. 

Pay down high-interest credit card balances and refinance variable rates into fixed.  The more you’re able to put aside for saving and the less debt you have, it’s going to be available to you in case of an emergency.

Q: Tell us more about the Credit Rising Teens course:

Ashley: This course offers the opportunity for mompreneurs to educate their teens about money management, all things banking, credit reports, credit cards,  investing, and business planning.  Financial literacy creates awareness of debt management, credit card balance,  how to choose the best suited banking, mortgage, loans, insurance,  and investment options.
