We’ll cut you some slack. No lengthy post this time, on our blog anyway. However, we encourage all future and present college students, their parents, and/or their guardians to read Six sure fire ways for students to ruin their financial future.
We think all the advice is spot on except that we would council that students steer clear of all credit cards and use debit cards alone. We especially like item 1 for which we would like to recommend BudgetSketch in place of spreadsheets. BudgetSketch permits anyone to create a budget, set goals, and the best part… IT’S FREE!! Perfect for college students, and dare we say high school students as well? Also, students can grant parents and/or guardians access to their BudgetSketch account to add a measure of accountability.
OK, I know. We promised to keep it short!
