Planning for the Future
For the Unit 10 Discussion Board, you will complete a reflective essay to address the following questions:
Consider what you know about personal financial matters. Where did you gain this knowledge? Did you learn about these matters in school or some other deliberate training, or did you learn from personal experience? Are you satisfied with your level of knowledge on personal financial matters? Are you satisfied with how you have handled money in the past?
Consider your calculations from the Unit 9 Discussion Board. How do changes in interest rate, time, and compounding affect the amount of interest earned on an investment? What changes will you make in the way you deal with money based on what you learned?
What do you wish you had known earlier in your financial life? What financial advice would you give to a young person just starting out?
