Financial Wellness tips from our team!

  • Practice the 50/30/20 rule whenever possible! This is a budget tip where you divide your income into three sections: 50% of your income goes toward your needs, 30% toward your wants, and 20% toward savings.
  • Always go shopping with a list! Sticking to your list can help you stay within your budget and reduce the extras you. might buy without a list.
  • Budget, budget, budget! It's hard to start one and keep up with it, but knowing how much money you have coming and going out will help you a lot in the long run.
  • Explore campus resources! There are so many available to students for free that can help you become more financially stable.
