Joel May Presents Managing Your Money on a Computer

By Sandy Rand

Joel May is back for our October meeting. You may remember his great presentation of "Weird and Wonderful Web Sites" from September, 2004.

He’ll present information on finance-related software and web sites designed to help us track, invest, and manage our money.

The software and web sites he discusses will help with Tax Preparation, Tracking and Recording Financial Information (Microsoft Money and Quicken), Online Banking, Saving and Investing, CD, Money Market and Mortgage Rates, Buying and Selling Securities, Real Estate Investing, Planning for Insurance, College, Retirement and Estate Issues and finally Checking Credit Ratings.

Joel has spent most of his adult life teaching, first at the Graduate School of Business of the University of Chicago and, subsequently, at the School of Public Health of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey with a stint in between as President of the Health Research and Educational Trust of New Jersey, a subsidiary of the New Jersey Hospital Association.

He holds a BS degree in Economics from Albright College and an MBA and PhD in Economics and Statistics from the University of Chicago. He's been using computers since 1961, the Internet since 1974, PCs since 1979, and the World Wide Web since 1994.

Since his retirement in 1995, he has volunteered his time teaching computer skills to senior citizens at the Ewing SeniorNet Computer Literacy Center, reading for the blind at the NJ Library for the Blind and Handicapped and singing in Princeton Pro Musica and the Hopewell Valley Community Chorus.
