Discussion Points:

1) How did you learn about managing your personal finances? Who was your best teacher?

2) Did your university or college host an education session by Rob Carrick and Roma Luciw this fall (as discussed in the article)? What did you think about these sessions?

3)  Wiley’s  Financial Accounting: Tools for Business Decision Making frequently employs a feature called All About You, relating the subject of the chapter to students’ personal financial management. Which one of these All About You sections have you found to be the most useful or applicable?
