About Me

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.”  ― Mahatma Gandhi 

Hello!!!

My name is Vielka Jones

I  worked for the State of Massachusetts for the past 28+ years at the Unemployment Office before I retired and my dream has always been to teach financial planning when I retire. 

Although I am very passionate about financial planning, I felt that I needed to earn the right to teach this subject. That is why I went to Fitchburg  State College and earned my MBA first. 

Still.... I realize later that this was not enough... they don't teach personal financial planning at the MBA level so I decided to earn my Certificate in Financial Planning from Florida State University. I also earned the title of Certified Financial Education Instructor from the National Financial Educators Council and went thru Financial Master Coach Training  with the best financial teacher Dave Ramsey.

And I did all this by paying cash as I took classes while still working full-time with no need for any financial aid and no need for getting in debt by just following many of these principles that you will find all over this website.

This website will be used mainly as a tool in my future classes as a teacher of Financial Education!!
