Final reflection - Henry

Henry’s Final Reflection 
I learned so much during the three weeks in the Personal Finance course. Not only did the books that we read have a lot of very important and useful information, but the seminars that we had on them provided many different views and opinions that helped to expand my horizons. The book Your Money Or Your Life was very eye opening and taught me a lot about not just how to save and make more money but how to develop a good relationship with money. The book taught me some very interesting things about money like the fulfillment curve, the crossover point, and my life energy.  I learned so much about Mortgages and Loans including Long term, Short Term, Student Loans, etc.., Insurance ,Taxes, investing, real estate and so much more.
     One of the most enjoyable and helpful things that we did in my opinion was The Life Game.The life Game gave me a roadmap for my life and showed me the real costs of living, how I will pay off my debt, when I would be able to retire, and many other things about life. I learned so much from this exercise and I feel prepared for the future. The speakers that were able to come and share their knowledge were absolutely amazing. They each had so much information about their topic and gave us some great advice and tips. Even though we had a three people come in and talk about real estate, they each gave us different information and had different opinions. They were so nice to take the time out of their day to come and talk to us and I learned so much from them. I have learned so much from this A Term and I am so glad that I got to take part in it.

Final Reflection

Nathaniel Samuels Dr. Ott Personal Finance January 28, 2019 Final Reflection In Personal Finance we learned many things from early in life dealing with student loans to later crossing the crossover point where you no longer have to work for money. My favorite part of the class was the hypothetical discussions of if you spend more some points of your mortgage or put more away to investments. It was very cool to see the effects from these and how some go from 200,000 to 1,000,000 in an extra 5 years of investing. In the life game at first I thought it would be unreasonable to have to predict finances 50 years in the future. As I continued it became easier and it became fun to see net worth go up and down as I bought a house and had children and then see the skyrocket at the end when my kids graduated and my mortgage was paid off.  With the rolls of the dice at first it made me go into crippling amounts of debt but as i rebalanced and took money out of an emergency fund...

Blake Peterson Dr. Ott Personal Finance 25 January 2019 Final Reflection     Over the past three weeks in personal financing I have learned a lot about the basics of financing and what to expect financially in the future. The things I found the most interesting was learning about investing and the life game. With investing we learned a lot about things like the stock market and also real estate investing. In stock market investing we had a speaker named Champ Warren, who is a financial consultant and investor. He talked about his method with investing and we looked at the market and analyzed if there was going to be a recession anytime soon. For investing we also started an Investopedia game and played it throughout the class. We also learned about the real estate side of investing. We had three people come and talk to us, each of them giving us a new perspective on real estate investing. My favorite part of the real estate investing was when we went to an apa...

Final Reflection 2019

         Most young adults after they’ve graduated wish that they were able to take a class that was purely about money management and how to take care of simple financial duties such as loans, investments, mortgages, taxes and budgeting. For the past three weeks that is exactly what I’ve been doing: essentially taking a money management 101 class. After all, money is what motivates us to do anything; it’s why we go to school, it’s why we get a job, and to many people, it makes them happy. Contrarily money can make some people go crazy, it can make them deppressed and can lead various individuals to make irrational and unethical decisions. In this class, we learned not only the technical definitions of common financial concepts, but also the psychological aspect of money and how if used appropriately, it can be a tool to happiness and fulfillment.         There are several ways in which my expectations for this class were ce...
