Money = Power + Prospects

You know what they say: “Money makes the world go ‘round.” This is particularly true when students go off to college. For most, campus life brings newfound freedom and opportunities. But it also includes new responsibilities and costs. How will the money management style you develop now affect you in the long run?

1. It will make a difference on where you live.
2. It will influence which jobs you can afford to take.
3. It will help define your quality of life for years to come.

These are ALL true. Students who learn personal finance skills early on are more likely to make sound financial decisions. This allows them to become more economically independent and secure. Those who graduate owing less find it easier to buy a car or home and have more flexibility in their job choices.
