@GenerationTexas A5: Take a look at everything you own & estimate if that item didn't work anymore - like a car tire! You have funds to cover it! Insurance - co-pays? Or an emergency visit? Plan out the what if - add up/by 12. That will help you set aside to plan for when life happens! #FinLitTX
@GenerationTexas A4: Take advantage of that student status - discounts! Don't get hooked on Amazon Prime (it's so easy to buy stuff, next day delivery!) Plan.. make time to meal prep!
Making little changes now to work on your finances will help you build better habits for the future! #FinLitTX
@GenerationTexas A3: Hey Students... Do you track your expenses? Do you know what you're using the credit card for? Have you shopped around? Did you read your credit card agreement?
Most importantly.. are you ready to borrow from your future self, at a cost? Proceed with caution! #FinLitTX
@GenerationTexas A2: 1. Talk with a Financial Aid representative to see what you currently have going on - check in!; 2. Apply for FAFSA in a timely manner; 3. Use what you only need; 4. Scholarships! Take time and apply! #FinLitTX
@GenerationTexas A1: Take one step at a time! Once you feel confident in knowing where your money is going - take action. Force yourself to track your expenses this week & see what little things you can start cutting back on and get in the habit of knowing where your money is going! #FinLitTX
@GenerationTexas@GenerationTexas the ability to become an informed consumer! To know how to make decisions that set you and your future self up for success! #FINLITTX
