Financial Planning Seminar Series:
August 8th, 2019 @ VEC, CUMC Campus (Organizers: Olaya Fernandez Gayol, Regina Martuscello, Advocacy Committee)
INTRODUCING THE ADVOCACY SEMINAR SERIES
The Advocacy Committee is introducing a brand new series of talks aimed at postdocs to learn about different aspects of everyday life in the United States, from personal finances to taxes, insurance and housing.
For the first talk in this brand new series, we received Leonard Berman from First Manhattan Co. In this seminar, Leonard covered the basics of savings, investments and personal finance management giving postdocs practical tools to help manage their finances in such an expensive city like NYC!
Take-home messages:
- Invest in your retirement early and often, the power of the compound will make your money grow.
- Always make the highest amount of matching funds into your retirement – its free money!
- The market fluctuates. Don’t panic. Don’t sell at the bottom.
Stay tuned for our next session that will cover “Insurance in the USA” in the Fall!
