Our Vision
College Money Habits started as a way to teach college students how to begin investing and quickly morphed into something more. We are committed to teaching students and recent college graduates about financial literacy.
Not a student? This website is still for you. Whether you’re curious about saving, budgeting, investing, or credit, we want you to be comfortable making financial decisions. More importantly, we want young students to understand the importance of financial literacy and healthy money habits so that they can always make the right decisions.
Our platform is dedicated to all people about building healthy money habits and answering the most common questions surrounding personal finance. Too many students are unaware of the full impact of student loans, the proper way to build credit, and how to save money. One could argue that managing your money is easier when you MAKE more money, but, financial wealth becomes irrelevant if you don’t understand how to protect it. Learning to make smart decisions while you’re young, has proven to be a great strategy over the long term.
The fact that you’re here shows you’ve already begun to take the steps to advance your knowledge. We hope to be a helping hand throughout your journey. Have questions? Shoot us an email at learn@collegemoneyhabits.com.
Knowledge is POWER.
Financial literacy is one of the most important skills that someone can have in today’s world, yet it is a skill most people don’t have. Young students are not learning these fundamental skills at home, or at school, and are entering the world without essential knowledge.
Our mission is to bridge this gap by educating students, and young adults on the core components of financial literacy.
The definition of Financial Literacy is “The education and understanding of various financial areas including topics related to managing personal finance, money and investing. This topic focuses on the ability to manage personal finance matters in an efficient manner, and it includes the knowledge of making appropriate decisions about personal finance such as investing, insurance, real estate, paying for college, budgeting, retirement and tax planning.”
