financial planning






complete a reflective essay to address the following question

  • 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. 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?
  • Will you be making any changes in the way that you handle financial matters based on what you learned? If so, what will you do differently? 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?
