What is Money Matters?

The University of Wisconsin – Madison Division of Extension’s Money Matters modules are used as self-study tools spanning eleven different areas of personal finance. Modules are designed to help learners understand their current financial habits and choices, build their knowledge base and provide a tool kit to develop new money management skills and awareness. Each financial topic provides a comprehensive online learning approach offering fact sheets, videos, self-assessments and links to more learning resources.

Money Matters can be used as a self-study program or you can follow up with financial coaching. Several of our financial educators are available to talk with anyone in Wisconsin.  Please send an email and they will get back to you during regular business hours. You can also check out this statewide map to get in touch with your local Extension office to find out what types of educational programming they are able to provide.
