Did you know, according to thecollegeinvestor.com, the median net worth of millennials (18-35) is only $10,400? Did you know student loan debt within the “millennial generation” has nearly doubled? Do you know how to manage your money?

Join us as we hear from author Andrew O. Smith who’ll discuss his newest book, Financial Literacy for Millennials: A Practical Guide to Managing Your Financial Life for Teens, College Students, and Young Adults. Smith will cover topics relevant to any young adult who is making independent financial decisions for the first time, including:

  • student loan debt
  • career planning
  • entrepreneurship
  • investments
  • avoiding financial fraud
  • saving for retirement, and more!

The book is a guide for young adults or anyone looking to gain a better grasp of how to make smart financial decisions.

Smith will discuss his book and participate in a Q&A session on Thursday, February 23rd at The Athletic Club of Columbus from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm.
