Tuesday, May 7, 11am to 12pm: Money Psychology - Beyond the Numbers
It’s easy to think that how we approach money is all about formulas, facts and figures. The truth is, the decisions we make are influenced by other forces too—our own biases, life experiences, and human nature. TIAA will explore what some of those forces are and how to tame them for our advantage.
They will discuss:
- Human nature and what shapes our feelings about money
- How those feelings might make us behave
- The importance of the big picture when making decisions
- Doing what is best for long-term interests
Tuesday, May 19, 11am to 12pm: Finance for new grads
Starting out in the job world can be exciting—and overwhelming. The financial foundation we build now can impact our lives for years to come. That’s why it’s so important to understand how to manage money, create good financial habits, and save and invest for the long term.
In this webinar, TIAA will provide insights on:
- How a spending plan helps in the short term
- What a retirement plan does in the long term
