Speaker - January 10, 2020

-
In January, Mr. Chris Ronk came to speak to us about finances and how students our age can get started thinking about savings, investments, and budgeting. He showed us a few spreadsheets, which showed the value of interest gained from investments, and some other intriguing slides, including a calculator which showed the weight of minor, unnecessary charges, and how they reduce the amount of one's retirement savings significantly. He exhorted us to start considering money early in life, so that we can have plenty of savings when we come to retirement. It was an inspiring and educational talk!
