Week 1 Supplemental Information-PLAY
As Shan Otare explained in the Week 1 lesson video, this supplemental information provides you with additional background to deepen your understanding as to why the 101 System works the way it does.
The videos below explain the original way the system was designed using paper worksheets, which later evolved into the 101 Financial App. The manual procedures described in the videos have since been transformed into the automatic calculations that the App performs for you.
Watching these videos and using the worksheets is entirely optional. However, if you choose to do so, feel free to use them in addition to or instead of the App, based on what’s most comfortable for you.
