For Modern Orthodox Jews, navigating finances in your 20s can be intimidating. Common expensive endeavors of this cohort include taking out student loans, landing their first job and allocating investments, losing health insurance coverage through their parents鈥 plan, starting a family, and buying their first car and house. Each of these pursuits requires extensive research and financial planning so that every young adult can make sound decisions based on their personal circumstances.
At 26 years old, I constantly find myself facing financial inquiries. Luckily, on January 31, I had the opportunity to attend 鈥淔inancial Planning in Your 20s,鈥 an eye-opening joint event between the 麻豆区 Office of Alumni Affairs, Young Alumni Council and Sy Syms School of Business, where attendees had the opportunity to initiate discussions regarding their general monetary concerns with experienced panelists.
