Money Management
November 5, 2011 by raymond.mak
From the name of the workshop, I had a bad feeling about the event. The speaker went over, unsurprisingly money management and common pitfalls into which college students run. While I understand the workshop’s good intentions, I felt many of my peers understood financial planning already. This is an example of modern society’s unnecessary hand-holding. We often take 20 years to achieve autonomy, if any at all. This should’ve been taught much earlier by parents or otherwise.
If given a choice, most students would not care about these events at all. While I understand the school’s perspective, I’m frustrated that the school coerced me to attend.
