3 Ways to Save Money in College

3 Ways To Save

Money in College

  • Failure to keep track of your bank/checking account can easily cost you money via overdraft fees. Your debit card can easily get you into the red if you don’t know what’s in your checking account. Think your card will be declined if your account has insufficient funds? Think again.
  • Pay credit card bills on time. Companies charge late fees, sometimes as much as $50 per month. And do not go over your credit limit—that offers just one more way for your credit card company to get rich off your poor judgment.
  • Save that spare change you’ve got jangling in your pocket or sloshing around in the bottom of your backpack or purse in a big jar or can somewhere out of the way. Count and roll spare change yourself. Stay away from those coin-counting machines you see at the grocery store. They will rip you off or at the very least charge you a fee.
