PD Lunch & Learn: Managing Your Personal Finances + Growing Your Money

 

MANAGING YOUR PERSONAL FINANCES + GROWING YOUR MONEY

Hello Business Niners! I hope that you all enjoyed your Spring break whether you caught up on some rest, worked or maybe even traveled. Now it's time to get back in the groove of classes.

This past Wednesday there was a Lunch & Learn featuring  Dr. Brad Yeckley, Assistant Director for Financial Literacy here at UNC Charlotte.  One of my colleague’s Elmer, who had the opportunity to attend the event stated that the Lunch  & Learn session was one of the best Lunch & Learn  sessions that he has ever attended.

Dr. Brad Yeckley  touched on topics like budgeting, saving and investment, and retirement. The format of the session was more of a discussion structure, and the students were highly engaged while asking questions. The speaker provided business cards for students to set up financial advice appointments with him and his team on campus.

Time management: (Maintaining balance between school & personal life)

 

Hello Business Niners It’s your Peer Guide Kiy with some quick time management tips!

 

Do you ever feel like you have so many things to do but so little time?

With all the pressure coming from school to meet coursework and internship deadlines and trying to make sure that you maintain a good G.P.A whilst enjoying your college experience can be exhausting sometimes so it is important to have a plan.

 

It is very important to keep an updated schedule. Whether it is using a Calendar app on your phone, Google Calendar, a physical planner or another way you feel comfortable keeping track of all the important things that you have to complete. This updated schedule should include specific times that you would like to accomplish different tasks as well as personal time for yourself.

 

A good night's sleep is also essential because our bodies need time to recharge.  Can you imagine the way one’s body would function without enough sleep? You want to make sure that you are alert and able to be fully engaged throughout the day.

 

Lastly, prioritize your work in a meaningful way. For example, categorize your assignments, internship deadlines and work tasks in the order in which they are due. Add your class schedule and other regularly scheduled events to your calendar so that you can plan everything else based around it. Your course syllabus is your best friend and should be checked regularly in case there are any changes made. Prioritizing your coursework is beneficial because it can help you take care of larger assignments and events first and then the smaller ones.
