Professor Bogan will lead a
discussion on personal finances
with an emphasis on providing
critical thinking skills that
graduate students need in
order to make successful
personal finance decisions
today and in the future. Learn
about tools and strategies for
budgeting, becoming informed
consumers, and interacting
with financial service
professionals.
Maintaining good credit is more
than just paying off your
balance. Understand the
different credit resources
available. Learn how to obtain,
interpret, and improve your
credit score. Most importantly,
learn how to successfully create
a budget plan to minimize
worry, prepare for unplanned
expenses, and achieve your
short and long term financial
goals.
Just placing your money in a
savings account will not cut it
as taxes and inflation will
quickly erode your buying
power. The world of investing
can be extremely intimidating,
and the messages we hear can
be confusing. By the end of the
session, you will be able to
describe the building blocks of
an investment portfolio in
relation to your tolerance for
risk and your investment time
horizon.
This session will clarify the
different types of student loans
available, and discuss how to
manage your spending while in
school and how to borrow
smart. Planning to repay a
student loan is critical in this
process; the session will show
you how to estimate what you
will owe and help you understand repayment options,
including deferments/forbearance, forgiveness/discharges,
and consolidation.
