BG NEWS April 4, 2019 | PAGE 5 How students can be more financially literate

Since 2003, the month of April has been Regardless of it being Financial Literacy officially recognized by the U.S. Senate Month, BGSU works with PNC Bank to offer as Financial Literacy Month. This month students financial literacy resources. BGSU encourages Americans to maintain healthy offers modules, seminars and workshops on and beneficial spending and saving habits. topics such as money management, identity According to a 2017 survey by EVERFI theft and expense tracking. The services are based on about 100,000 incoming college provided at no charge to students, nor do students, many struggled to answer basic students have to be customers with PNC to financial literacy questions. On average, take advantage of them. The resources can be these incoming students only answered two found on BGSU’s website. of six questions correctly. From the same survey, approximately 60% of those going to college expect to take out loans, but only 15% said they had a means of paying them off. This shows the gap in knowledge students have in comparison to the commitments they jump into. Rockne Starks teaches a personal finance class every semester at the university. Starks had advice for students who are seeking to broaden their knowledge on finance. His first piece of advice is for students to set goals for themselves. Many students do not set financial goals for their future, not Heinz Apartments 334 N. Main Frazee Avenue Apts 425 E. Court Street knowing what kind of course to follow. Goals could include what kind of house students would want, what their ideal age to retire is, what kind of car they would like to have and how they plan to off their student loans. Of course, a goal that applies to many students is dealing with their loans. LIVE CLOSE TO CAMPUS! “A lot of students are just coming up trying to deal with their student loan debt. … And, unfortunately, a lot of students leave with this giant albatross on their back of debt,” Starks said. Starks recommends that students know “how to work within the confines of what you Best of know about yourself to have a plan and get Now Leasing for 2019 Best of BG 2015–2018 yourself in a financially comfortable position.” Voted Best Landlord His personal finance class teaches students how to do this. BG Starks’ second piece of advice is implementing the goals students have set for themselves. Students should keep their own goals in mind as often as they can. Forecasting financial needs is essential in keeping plans intact, he said. Starks said the best plan students can have is one they will use. Students should also keep in mind their plan will change as time passes. It is not easy to see what the future will bring, so adjusting a plan is key to staying on top of finances. Bentwood Estates 501 Pike Campbell Hill Apts Historic Millikin Starks also said students should monitor themselves more if they want to save money. Students should be aware of when they are spending $7 on coffee everyday. Expenses —BOWLING GREEN — Church Directory We invite you to worship with us and look forward to meeting you soon!

We are in a The next draw is Liverpool going up runner for the Premier League title, with a Ligt, who is rumored to be on the move to round of eight right now after a wild round of against FC Porto. Liverpool is in the lead in game-in-hand on Liverpool. They also have Barcelona after this season, is the heart of 16. The four matchups are Barcelona against the Premier League and also making their one of the best strikers in the Premier League that defense.

Virgil van Dijk. Van Dijk has changed the players on their team right now, as Kevin De Barcelona against Manchester United are team from one that was a score or lose team Bruyne has been out with an injury since one of the more interesting draws in this to one that can defend as well. Last season, March. He has been recently featured so he round. Barcelona has a real possibility of if Liverpool didn’t score, they were screwed. might not be too far away from the lineup, getting the treble, which is winning three They are different this year. Van Dijk is one however. De Bruyne makes the City team trophies in the same season. They have one of those reasons, but also acquiring Allison much better, but even without him, they of the best teams in the world, with one of Becker, a former goalkeeper at Roma, has are still spectacular. The team’s back line is the best offensive fronts. Lionel Messi is still allowed them to rely on the back line much also great, with Kyle Walker, John Stones, playing like the best player in the world. He more than they used to. However, one cannot Nicolas Otamendi and Vincent Kompany all has scored over 40 goals for the 10th straight mention Liverpool without talking about one appearing. Their goalkeeper, Ederson, also season and over 20 assists as well. Unlike of the best front threes in the world, Sadio plays very well, and also is a great passer previous Champions League campaign, the Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah. from the back, helping the attack a lot as a team doesn’t need to completely rely on him.

Manchester City is one of the They also have one of the best goalkeepers in so look for him to make a name for himself most complete teams in the world. the world with Marc-Andre ter Stegen. again in this draw. This is a draw that I feel might go either However, Porto will not simply give them way, but I think Manchester City won’t lose the win. They have a strong team and a this draw. I’ll pick Manchester City to win 4-2. great backline. That is their biggest strength, but not their only one. They have a very experienced goalkeeper in Iker Casillas. He has won multiple Champions League trophies and a World Cup with Spain. They have good attacking power as well. Tiquinho Soares is the team’s leading scorer in league play with 19 goals. Porto has a chance to win, but don’t It’s funny that the team that embodies seem to have as much offensive firepower teamwork is going up against a team that I as Liverpool. Because of this, I’m picking feel like depends on one player, and that’s Liverpool to win this draw 3-2. Juventus and Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo, The next draw is Premier League against one of the best soccer players in the world, Premier League, Tottenham against is still playing at a high level and is still the Manchester City. Tottenham has one of the best Champions League player of all time. However, Manchester United are not best strikers in the Premier League in Harry Ronaldo carried his team to the next round the team they were at the beginning of the Kane, who also got the Golden Boot in the of the tournament after it looked like Atletico Premier League season. Jose Mourinho is last World Cup. They also have a few great The last Champions League draw is Ajax Madrid would eliminate them. If Ronaldo has gone and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is now the attackers in Dele Alli, Son Heung-min and Amsterdam against Juventus. Ajax is what I a bad stretch of matches against Ajax, I don’t permanent manager for United. They look Christian Eriksen. They have the ability to would call a “team.” They know how to work think Juventus can win. They rely on him too much better, especially talking about Paul score easily and often, always giving them together and win. We saw that when they much in these big matches, but that’s why Pogba. Solskjaer’s appointment has allowed a chance. Their defense, however, isn’t as decimated Real Madrid. There is talent across they went out to get him I guess. They do Pogba to finally become the player he could good. Their back line is only satisfactory the whole roster and will get picked apart have other players who contribute a lot, like have been at Manchester United. They also and isn’t a strength. Sometimes they have after this season. Now, though, they have the Miralem Pjanic and Mario Mandzukic, but still have one of the best goalkeepers in trouble defending, and this has led them chance to win something big. The midfield Ronaldo is the player they need to win the the world, David de Gea. When he is in the to lose games they shouldn’t have, case in is what I would say is their biggest strength, matches for them. net, Manchester United will always have a point, the Liverpool match over the weekend. as they’re able to pass the ball around the I think Juventus will end up winning this chance.

I team to fear in the tournament, and because World Cup as the starting goalie for France Frenkie de Jong, who will join Barcelona think the final aggregate will be 3-2, with all of that, this draw will not be as easy for last summer, but he wasn’t the strength of after the season, is a big part of that.
