Elyse Brenner’s Presentation on The Finance Immersion Project.
I feel like Elyse’s presentation was effective, but it could have
been more so. I believe that her thesis was spot on, and it is something that I
can relate to because I am in a similar situation (college) like she speaks of.
Her thesis was, “buying nearly everything using only coupons and/or discounts
could benefit me in the long run, but for my situation it was inconvenient,
time consuming, and hard to see positive outcomes.” I can agree with Elyse’s
outcome on her project because finding great deals and cutting coupons can be a
great deal of work! I really liked how she went back and took a look at the
history of coupons to begin with. This gave the audience some great background
information to base the rest of her project on. I was persuaded that coupons
and discounts can be helpful at times, but you just have to search for the
right ones. As Elyse mentioned, there are some good deals, but there are some
tricky deals (like the buy one get one she talked about) that make you actually
spend more than you usually would just to get a second item. I guess you just
need to look at each individual deal and decide if it’s really a bargain or
not. But overall, Elyse did a good job sharing her project and informing the
class of what she learned on her journey, and supplying research that went with
and supported her thesis.
