Navigating Your Financial Journey After Graduation

Budgeting, Goals, and Emergency Funds

Tuesday, April 15 | 4:45-6 p.m.
Warch 308-Kraemer Room

As young professionals, it’s essential to strike a balance between earning and spending. Picking up where we left off last week, we’ll continue our discussions about managing your finances after graduation.

In this session, we’ll delve into the intricacies of personal finance, focusing on three critical aspects: budgeting, financial goals, and emergency funds. We’ll look at how much things cost (hint: a lot!), create a sample budget as a group, and try to determine just how much you’ll need to earn to live the lifestyle you want!
