On to High School
Homecoming. Senior Prom. Then, hello, real world. Is it really time to start thinking about college or work? Whichever you choose, there is one thing you need to know in order to be successful – and that’s how to manage your own money. Here are a few things that will start teaching you about being money smart:
- A FREE checking account – “student style”. If you are a student –either high school or college - under 23 years of age, your checking account is free. Period. ‘What if I just cash my check at one of those check-cashing places?” you might ask. Not only are there fees to cash your check, but you’ll never start saving this way.
