| | College Students, Get a Grip...On Your Money!
Just because someone is in college doesn't mean they automatically have a handle on money management.
Having money is addictive, and like anything that is addictive, you may like it, but if you cannot manage your life with it, lots of things can go wrong.
That's why it is crucial to make sure your teens understand things like loans, credit cards (and credit!), and managing money.
If you can get that straight BEFORE they head off to college, more power to you. Once they start college, students can already see how important it might be to get control of spending and saving. Arming them with a good sense of how to handle spending and debt can empower them and bring them one step closer to their (and your) ultimate goal: achieving financial independence.
