Securing the Bag: A Postgrad Guide to Mastering Money

As a new engineer, dealing with where to put your money and how to invest it can often be uncharted territory. During this session, we will first look at the basics of personal finance like assets and liabilities, then identify different types of accounts including retirement accounts, high yield savings accounts, and CDs. We will then outline investment options such as stocks, government bonds, and mutual funds that can help grow money over time. Attendees will leave the session with the necessary tools to create a financial plan that works for them. We often aren’t taught principles of personal finance in our education, so we hope to provide strategies for financial growth and empower attendees to take charge of their financial future.
