Budgeting 101: College Students

Posted by Jean

iStock_000006518022XSmallOver the weekend, I spoke to a group of high school students in New Jersey, and promised them I’d post a PDF of the college budget worksheet from my latest book, Money 911: Your Most Pressing Money Questions Answered, Your Money Emergencies Solved. Here it is, not only for those students, but for anyone else who is heading off to college at the end of the summer – or for parents who are sending a kid off to college.  As you prepare, you’ll no doubt be up to your ears in shower caddies, miniature refrigerators, and extra-long sheets.  But don’t forget to add a little financial education to your list.  It will go a long way, I promise.
