Unfortunately, most students get to college and have no idea how to manage themselves, classes, roommates, personal hygiene, and MONEY! Here at CATCHsystem we're huge fans of Dave Ramsey and his financial Baby Steps. They're simple, easy to follow, but often difficult to implement because it runs counter to what so many American youth have grown up understanding.
Dave teachers you to be debt free, live on less than you make, and stick with your budget. As soon as you walk onto a college campus these days there are several credit card offers in your mailbox, plenty of advertisements to spend your money at various establishments around town, and plenty of peer pressure to NOT have a plan.
If you'd like a great guide for How To Survive College, visit the Dave Ramsey website and read about a new project to get resources into high school's from one of Dave's college daughters, Rachel, who explains how to survive in such a hostile college environment!
