Personal Finance for College Students Series
Welcome to the nascent Personal Finance for College Student series!
The topics I’ll tackle will try to be most relevant to the college-aged crowd (establishing credit, handling credit cards, basic budgeting, furnishing an apartment, and much much more!) and some may seem pretty basic for those of you who are connoisseurs of blogs (I see readers of blogs as trying to squeeze knowledge like water out of a stone - blogs are probably the final frontiers in terms of valuable knowledge so I commend you!) but often we forget that when we’re learning something new, it’s not the difficulty of the topic that trips us up but that we didn’t even know the topic existed.
