You don’t need to drown in $100k of student debt to receive an education in the modern world.

Heck, you don’t even need to pay a cent to watch lectures from some of the world’s most prestigious universities, including Harvard, Stanford, and MIT.

How do I know?

I’ve spent a lot of time watching online courses over the last few years. They’ve improved my finances, mindset, and overall outlook on life. But most importantly, they taught me that learning can be fun, enjoyable, and worthwhile. After all, more than 70% of high school students have negative feelings about the education system, according to a survey published by Yale.

So with all of that in mind, I want to share several free online courses that improved my life. Hopefully, they will do the same for you, too.

1) Principles of Microeconomics (MIT)

I can’t help but feel amazed that it’s possible to take courses from some of the most incredible universities around the world. That would’ve been unthinkable a few decades ago because a good education was only available to those with lots of money who lived in certain areas.
