Online Classes

According to the U.S. Distance Learning Association, more than 2.3 million students will take an online course in the next few years. MISD Community Education recognizes the fact that not everyone's schedule allows for the attendance of classes in person. Based on this fact, MISD Community Education is proud to offer online classes in partnership with three great companies - Education 2 Go [Ed2Go], Gatlin Education Services [GES], and Invest in Your Debt [IYD].

IYD, Inc. offers this as their mission statement: 'To simply help as many people as possible achieve true financial freedom. We accomplish this mission by providing the three essential elements of financial success--knowledge, tools and discipline. Our philosophy is that only by eliminating all debt will most people ever reach a position of financial security.'

Keith Phildius, an independent certified seminar leader for IYD, Inc., has taught 'Invest in Your Debt' for MISD Community Education for over seven years. The basic premise of this class is that you will learn how to pay off all your debts and completely own your own home within a matter of just a few years while at the same time learn how to become financially independent by using your current income. This class has consistently received high praise and students who have taken this class feel that they have learned more clearly about their finances and how to get out of debt and remain debt-free. Students comments include:

"Never got bored...never yawned once like I do at most other seminars..."

"Very thorough class...everyone should start life with this class...they would never be in debt..."

"Explanations...made me really think about my money and where it is going..."

Unfortunately, not everyone's schedule will allow for attendance of the classroom version of this class. With this in mind, in partnership with Keith Phildius and IYD, Inc., MISD Community Education is proud to offer an online version of this class.

If you are among the millions of Americans concerned about the impact of credit cards, car loans, student loans, and mortgage debt on your financial well being, this workshop is a must for you. Eliminate all your consumer debt in 1 to 3 years, and then, your mortgage in another 4 to 5 years. In this practical, time-tested workshop, learn how to get completely out of debt at your current income level. During the webclass, you will develop your own debt elimination plan that can be immediately integrated into your lifestyle. You don't need a second job, nor do you need to make major sacrifices. You will receive true financial freedom and peace of mind.

In keeping with the mission statement of IYD, Inc., and in association with Keith Phildius, MISD Community Education is pleased to offer Spend Smart, an IYD webclass.

While there are many paths to wealth, all of them have one common component. They require at least some money to get started. Getting ahead financially begins with consistently ending each month with extra money after the bills are paid. The only means of accomplishing this are to either earn more or spend less. Many believe they can earn their way to financial success, but for most people, increased earnings means increased spending as well. According to The Millionaire Next Door*, "If you make a good income and spend it all, you are not getting wealthier. You are just living high."

"Create Wealth...Even with no Room in your Budget"

No matter what your income level, the key to creating wealth is to spend less than you make by learning how to spend smart. Yes, the Spend Smart webclass provides many tips and strategies for saving money on groceries, utilities, insurance, cars and more, but there is much more to Spend Smart than learning 1001 ways to save money. Knowing how to save money is worthless unless you actually capture the money. Spend Smart teaches a unique process, known as K+PAR, that turns the knowledge of saving money into cash in your pocket. Spending smart does not mean sacrificing or doing without. Rather, it is about getting maximum value from each purchasing dollar and gaining a greater understanding of how and why purchasing decisions are made by discovering your hidden "spending personality."

By spending smart, the typical family can effortlessly capture several hundred extra dollars each month by using a simple but powerful "Reverse Budget" technique to plan their savings and then "Seize the Savings" by removing the money from their spendable income.

By taking the Spend Smart webclass, you will learn how to imitate The Millionaire Next Door, and like millionaires, will realize that how you spend your money is the biggest factor in determining whether or not you create wealth.
