Meet Nolan

Year in school:

Senior at La Follette

When I grow up I want to be:

A doctor in medicine

When I go to college, I would like to attend:

University of Wisconsin-Madison, School of Biological Sciences for Neurobiology

What do you like to do in your spare time (include employment, extracurricular activities, community activities, etc.)? 

In my free time, I like to be in the school theater program and outside of school, I like to experience the local music scene.

What’s your favorite subject?

Music

When it comes to money, what would you like to learn? 

I would like to learn more about investing and letting my money work for me, either through compounding interest or other methods of financial growth through investing.

If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it? 

I would help pay off any debt for my family and pay for their educations. Then, I would put around half of what was left into savings for my family and put the other half into something like an exchange-traded fund or money market account.

What is the most exciting thing you have ever done? 

I helped make a music album that will be sold in stores.

What have you done that really scared you? 

I went free climbing in South Dakota without any guides or gear.

What excites you most about Project Teen Money? 

I’m excited about being able to make videos that will entertain people, but also being able to teach them about finances and even learn more about them myself.

Name three words to describe you:

Performer, Cook, Student

“At the end of this challenge, I hope that I will have been able to learn more about finance overall (and also get a scholarship).”
