This module focuses on learning and understanding the various stages of the family and financial life cycle. Understanding these life cycles can help guide your expectations of goal setting without feeling a sense of having to plan all things at once. We will cover three main types of life cycles: 1) the family life cycle, 2) the financial life cycle, and 3) the income life cycle. All three of these are interconnected, however, it is important to understand them separately due to the uniqueness of every person’s life situation. The second half of this module will begin to tie all three together.
