Finance and Money Planning

Part of being successful in college and in life requires learning how to manage your money responsibly. Whether it is budgeting for rent or getting insurance, we have tips and resources to help you be financially successful.

Live on a budget

Planning where your money is going to go ahead of time can keep you accountable. That doesn't mean you can't budget for fun, just make sure you stay true to your budget.

Track where your money goes

Keeping your receipts or looking at your bank statements at the end of the month can help you see where you are spending money and is a good way to make sure you are staying on track with your budget.

Identify ways to cut back

Maybe you only buy coffee on the mornings when you have 10 a.m. class. Limiting small purchases or cutting back a little can be effective ways of saving money.

Don’t rely on credit

You are going to have to pay with money at some point. Credit can be helpful, but make sure you have a plan for paying it off.

Plan for major purchases

Saving up for a car or moving to a new city after graduation can be intimidating. Making a plan for saving a little here and there can make it a lot easier.

Invest in renters insurance

Part of being a responsible renter is having insurance. It can help you protect your stuff and avoid paying out of pocket should something happen.
