Saving Money on College - Finances (you know money)
1. Pay your bills on time and you will avoid a late fee. The late fee can add 10, 20 percent or more to the bill.
2. Don’t get a job during the first week of school (unless you have no choice like me). Wait until you know how rough your classes are going to be and when you do your best studying. Then work on finding a job that you can work around.
3. Shop the sales, instead of just throwing the sales papers in the garbage take a little time and check them out and plan your shopping accordingly.
4. You can have fun without spending a whole lot of cash, we’ll work on giving you some tips on that next week.
5. Get a free checking account. At all major college campuses there are banks that love students. You may have to check them out (or ask friends who went there the year before).
6. If at ALL possible stay away from a credit card. If you have to use one then make sure that you pay it off when the bill comes. If you have a credit card make sure that you have only one… more than that and you’ll be tempted to splurge.
7. Make sure that you balance your checkbook.. hopefully your Mom and Dad taught you how to do that.
