On April 15th, Christina and Adam joined Morgan from SUNY Plattsburgh to host a virtual "Financial Forum" to answer questions from soon to be college graduates about a wide range of financial topics including the difference between 401ks and IRAs, strategies to pay off debts, strategies to help younger adults save, and more.
The Financial Forum was part of an online interactive webinar series from the SUNY Plattsburgh Career Development Center called "#Adulting", aimed at helping students prepare for their lives after college.
