International Educators' Guide to Retirement: Smart Steps Made Simple!

Tuesday, October 29, 2024
9:00 AM – 9:50 AM EDT
Location: Bluegrass B
Presentation Description: International Educators don't get into our careers for the money, so we all need to figure out how to make plans for retirement (so we can choose to not work until we are 80!).  This session uses real world examples (our panel) to discuss how attendees can adjust their thinking and planning as they move through their IE careers.  Beginning with defining basic financial terminology, presenters will share info to help attendees plan for the future. 

Learning Objectives:

  • 1. Become familiar with financial planning terminology.
  • 2. Understand the implications of a multi-job career, especially with regard to moving between for profit, non-profit and government positions.
  • 3. Understand risk tolerance, benefit options and money emotions.
