Money. You have a whole lifetime to earn, save, invest, and spend it. Yet, in order to avoid costly mistakes and wasted time, you probably do not want to wait a lifetime before learning how to do any of these things well. This is your opportunity to learn how to make the most of every penny so you can achieve the financial independence you want – when you need it.

If you are like most new college students, your top priority is your education, but you can make sure monetary concerns don't get in the way of your studies by fitting financial management into your schedule. If someone else isn't footing the entire bill for the next few years, you are responsible for making sure you have enough money for tuition, books, food, housing, entertainment, and/or other expenses. Even if your parents are supporting you, once you leave the confines of high school, you'll be faced with a whole new set of costs. Learning to make the most of your money today can help you prepare for tomorrow.
This talk will cover important financial topics, including:

Money Management
Checking and Savings Accounts
Credit Cards
Investing
Household Bills
Student Loans
