UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Penn State Sokolov-Miller Family Financial and Life Skills Center will hold two public webinars in March, with “Saving & Investing” at noon on March 5 and “Money & Relationships” at noon on March 19. 

The “Saving and Investing” webinar will cover the magic of compound interest and explore how participants can take advantage of this phenomenon for themselves. It will also explore different savings and investing vehicles, personal risk tolerance, strategies one can take to mitigate risk and the basics of retirement planning. Participants will have the opportunity to gain an understanding of how and where they can invest their money to reach their short- and long-term financial goals. 

The “Money and Relationships” webinar will explore the dynamics of managing money as a team. Whether it’s navigating financial waters with family, business partners, friends, roommates or a romantic partner, this session will dive deep into the intricacies of collaborative money management. It will uncover the nuances of the various money personalities, empowering participants to identify their own financial traits and master effective communication with others.
