Financial Wisdom for College Students

Most students know their test scores, but how many know their credit scores or what effects their credit scores?

Nearly 85% of college students have at least one credit card. Many students are graduating with student loans and credit card debt. They are then left wondering how to manage it all.

Budgeting and saving may seem as complicated as rocket science for students, but it doesn't have to be that way.


Fatima Mehdikarimi helps students develop a positive relationship with money. She gives students the confidence and knowledge to successfully manage their finances.

 

Here are just some of the topics she covers:

1. Managing your finances during and after college.

2. Understanding credit and avoiding credit card debt.

3. Saving and the magic of compounding: how $20,000 can turn into over $1,000,000.

4. Creating a simple and realistic budget.

5. Making sense of your first "real" job after college.
