Why is financial literacy important to you?

For me, the ability to navigate the world, knowing the core principles of credit, investing, saving, budgeting and every other element related to personal finance is wildly important. Why? Because it allows me to make decisions with confidence and helps me to avoid common mistakes.

From a young age, my dad repeatedly informed me of the importance of building wealth and establishing financial independence as a black man living in the U.S. I took all of these lessons to heart and have made great strides to invest and save a large portion of my income. I;m on my way to being debt-free and the next step is to buy a home!

College Money Habits was created to share all the information I’ve come across and to share stories of success and struggle on the journey to becoming financial literate.
