Description

Shahar Ziv, a financial wellness educator, writer, and speaker, will present a session to help you outsmart your 401(k) before it outsmarts you, hosted by Student Financial Support.

Here's what you'll learn:

  • Employee benefits 101: health insurance, paid time off (aka PTO), retirement plans, and employer matches
  • How to read a job offer (and spot what actually matters)
  • How retirement accounts work and why starting early pays off (yes, even in your 20s)

Three students who attend the session will win a portable hammock and a copy of The One-Page Financial Plan: A Simple Way to Be Smart About Your Money by Carl Richards.

Students who attend at least six financial wellness webinars during this school year will be entered to win a pair of Beats Studio Pro Bluetooth noise-canceling headphones.
