Hey there, welcome to College Cents! I’m Cylie and I’m not
sure about you, but I refuse to submit to the “broke college student” mentality
or possible reality. Having to say no to friends or scraping up loose change
for laundry money is NOT how I choose to live. No way, Jose! I’m working on
figuring out this whole money thing and making it work for my generation’s
lifestyle. What worked for our parents or grandparents might not be ideal for
us. One of the classic pieces of advice you’ll hear is “for a latte a day, you
could become rich!” I get the concept. I do. Save a little a day and BAM! All
of a sudden you’ll wake up one day with more than if you didn’t. It’s not that
deep. But…I like my Starbucks? What about me? Do I have to give up my White
Chocolate Mocha to achieve all of my financial dreams? I think not.
I’m here in search of what works for our generation to be
financially literate and wealthy. Through train and error and learning from
others, I believe I’m getting there. In fact, I will graduate with less debt
that a new car after attending a private university for four years, with a
sticker price of $40,000 per year. With limited financial assistance, I’ll be
debt free in less than 2 years after I graduate. This isn’t meant to brag – in fact
I’m sure many of you have done it better (tell me your ways!). But I want to
share with you what I’ve learned, and what I’m continually learning. More than
that, I want to hear from you! How are you conquering this whole money thing?
Money can be tough, but I’m here to help it make sense. College Cents.
