Description
Check out this video to watch the Strategies for Financial Success.
Worried about the economy? WWU alumnus Paul Merriman ('66) can help. He has a passion for helping others achieve financial freedom. His foundation, The Merriman Financial Education Foundation, collaborates regularly on programs with the College of Business and Economics. He has also helped Western create the Merriman Financial Literacy Program, which launched earlier this month.
As part of the presentation, Paul is going to bring 100 lottery tickets for the Power Ball drawing. If one of the tickets is a winner, everyone in attendance in-person will have a percentage of the winnings.
Merriman will have advice on how to manage student debt, how to start working toward your financial goals even on a limited paycheck, and how to work your way toward retiring with millions—without having to win the lottery!
