Just a Little Introduction

July 26th, 2007 at 01:43 am

In the financial world today there seems to be two types of advice: how to save for children and how to save for retirement for adults.But what about in between? What about that age when you're past simply saving for this doodad or that, but before you're ready to open up a 401(k)? That's where this blog comes in. Hopefully, through research and careful consideration, I can bring to you bits and pieces of financial know-how from a little known but very relevant perspective; that is, the perspective of a full time college student who has a limited income but still wants to do something meaningful (by meaningful I mean long term and actually accomplishes something). I hope that in reading this blog you will gain some insight, and if nothing else, it will get you thinking about your ever looming financial future that starts right now.

    Welcome to the blogs!
    From someone who is a "bit" older than college age (I'm going to my 20th reunion this fall), I'd say that the most important things you can do now to prepare for a fulfilling financial future are:
    - Avoid debt (no consumer debt at all, and keep student loan debt as low as possible)
    - Develop good work habits
    - Develop good social skills

    Good luck!

    I don't think you're ever too young to save for retirement. If I had it to do over again I would have started with my first job out of high school. But I get your point.

    Welcome - habit provides for the best financial foundation. Even if you are dealing with small amounts, creating good habits is key to financial success.
