It is often said that money does not make the world go round, but it sure gives everyone the stress and friction in matters that concern financing. However, with adequate knowledge and careful planning, you can do yourself a big favor for yourself when the future comes. This week, the Connect. Learn. Grow. (CLG) workshop focused on educating the international community on how to best manage their budget and personal finance. Our guest speaker, Ms. Sherrie Clayton from Personal Finance@Duke, taught the participants on how we could make informed financial decisions in our daily lives.
