Financial Times

I graduated with my MBA from the University of Louisville in December. Throughout the course of the two-year program, I accumulated many things for my studies (mainly books). One of the things I was required to purchase for the program was a financial calculator. It wasn't an expensive item - maybe $30 - but I doubt that I will find a need for it frequently. My friend and coworker Glenda just started the program in January. Since I know how expensive the program is - tuition, books, etc. - I decided to pass my calculator and owner's manual along to her. Every little savings can help. I arrived at work before she did today and had fun sneaking into her office to leave her my gift and a note wishing her all the best with her studies.
