The week after spring break can be a killer. I don’t know about you but, when I take a week off, I generally spend the first couple of days thinking I should have stayed home and worked. Then, I spend the rest of the week thinking of ways I could support myself on this little island and never go back to work. In this case, the little island was Isla Mujeres, off the coast of Mexico. I truly recommend visiting the “Isle of Women”, but that is not the point of this week’s tip. The point of this week’s tip is to encourage you to attend this year’s Personal Finance Symposium. Below are the details for the Symposium. I hope you agree that this year’s line-up of speakers is outstanding. The focus of the Symposium, like the theme that runs through our financial tips, is that what we do in our financial household creates the financial world we either enjoy or fear. In 2010, it serves us well to consider our financial lives, in the context of the world we share.

I encourage you to attend the symposium and, yes, we are charging a small fee to recoup some of our costs of providing travel and lodging to our speakers. If, however, you have a class of students that would like to come and they don’t want to eat the $10 lunch, please contact Amy Sanders (sanderal@missouri.edu) with a list of their names and we’ll let them come for free. Frankly, we lose money on the Symposium but can one really claim to have financial success, if they can’t give things away?

Having a debt-free life is what each one of us asking for. It depends on us on how we handle our debt, and how we manage it. Thanks for the tips that you shared.
