Financial Planning in the Age of Coronavirus is a pandemic contextualized mental wellness course for Filipinos of all ages and income. Building financial capability is a very important component in promoting increased mental and emotional health and financial planning in crisis is crucial. The day-to-day financial implication of running a household, paying bills, growing debts and other emergency needs can be a cause of stress. If you put this situation in a crisis of covid-19 magnitude, the uncertainty and complexity of the health crisis and its impact to livelihood is as much a financial and an emotional one. Our values and beliefs have been challenged during the crisis.

It evidenced to us that recession or not, we have to keep our personal economy in order. As the Philippines continue in lockdown while awaiting the rollout of the vaccination program across the population, we can focus our time and energy on working deep within the pain points we have experienced in 2020 which can also be our growth areas. Our personal goals and aspirations will impact our emotional and financial wellbeing and also the national economy. During the crisis, the content of this course was redesigned to integrate micro steps to financial planning, a science-backed easy to implement strategies that anyone can start anytime and that can turn budgeting, saving and investing a habit.
