Peer Financial Counseling Program
Today’s college students are bombarded with ads, commercials and mailings telling us that we need to spend money to be happy. At the same time, many of us come to college very ill-equipped to handle our finances. The Peer Financial Counseling Program is designed to address this problem. We hope to provide our peers with a basic understanding of personal financial management to help us meet life’s challenges and opportunities, many of which touch upon the topic of money.

November
24, 2009 Most students are on fixed incomes and have very little experience managing money. Before college, many of us never had to worry about paying for rent, groceries, utilities, and all the other costs that face the average college student. The first step to becoming financially independent is being able to live within our means, and the purpose of this module is to teach you how to track your spending and develop a budget that will work for you.
