Every year more and more college students go into debt. In fact, according to Nellie Mae, the average collage graduate will accumulate over 2,700 dollars in credit card debt. This total does not even include financial aid.
The good news is that if you want to avoid finding yourself in the same position, you can. Believe it or not, there are people out there to help you.
The University of Cincinnati is offering four Financial Basics Workshops that are designed to make you debt free. These seminars are held by four of U.C.’s biggest financial aid lenders. The sessions are free of charge and involve no selling of products or services.
The goal of the seminars is to help students learn how to manage their money and become debt free.
Topics include: how to turn your dreams into a plan, how to save, how to manage your debt, how credit really works and how you improve your score, and finally, the sessions will hit on financial services and investing.
