Making life’s toughest topics SLIGHTLY EDUCATIONAL
Navigating today’s increasingly complex world is challenging and confusing. Whether you’re trying to mortgage a home, pay off your student debt, find a job or get married, it never is easy. SLIGHTLY EDUCATIONAL seeks to make all of the topics important to being a successful adult fun and informative. Our schools failed to provide us the knowledge needed to get a jump start on a productive life, but with SLIGHTLY EDUCATIONAL it’s better late than never.
Courses
As SLIGHTLY EDUCATIONAL matures, we will be adding new courses as well as bolster existing courses. Below are the current courses in which we have lessons to share. Click on them to be taken to each individual course.
Managing your finances are hard. Just trying to support yourself and pay your rent is a monumental effort. Improving your financial literacy is the first step in setting yourself up for a successful financial future.
Getting married is the biggest life change you will ever go through. As a recently engaged couple, we are going to share our experiences, tips and pitfalls, as they happen in real-time.
We cover a wide-array of topics at SLIGHTLY EDUCATIONAL, but sometimes we need to open up Office Hours to share our opinions that don’t fit in any of our more-defined courses.
