What I'm Reading This Weekend (March 10-11)

Beth makes it difficult every week to cut down her curated list of articles that help teachers stay abreast of the financial world. I try and slim down to the top 10 but it gets more difficult every week. So, here's 15:)

Reading list week 18-10

High School and Beyond

Paying for College

Personal Finance

Investing

  • Millennial retirement savings: a bimodal distribution. Those that are saving are doing well, but too make aren’t saving at all.
    • How to get young people to care? How about this interactive (How long will you live?) to get them thinking about how they are going to pay for their long retirements!
  • Spotify is about to list their shares so investors are trying to figure out how to value them. Are they the Netflix of music? How to compare Spotify and Netflix.
  • Remember the QOD about Weight Watchers?  How much did Oprah Winfrey have to do with that run up of value?  She sold her 25% of her stake this week and profited greatly!

LIFE
