Heading off to college brings a whole new level of responsibility, especially when it comes to managing daily finances. Your teen needs more than just a bank account — they need to understand how to budget, make smart buying decisions, and manage credit responsibly.

šŸ’³Ā A strong credit score can make or break their college experience. Landlords may check credit before renting, and utility companies might ask for steep deposits if credit is lacking. Teaching your teen the basics of credit early on gives them a head start — and opens doors.

šŸ“ˆĀ If your teen has paid employment, encourage them to open a retirement accountĀ and take advantage of any employer match. Investing early allows time for compounding and market growth — a powerful advantage!

šŸŽ“Ā College financial aidĀ can be tricky to understand. It’s crucial to compare options and consider the full cost of education — including how long it will take to graduate. Graduating in four years instead of five or six saves thousands in tuition and living expenses, while helping your teen start their career (and income) sooner.

Financially Independent TeensĀ is written for both teens and their parents. It dives into essential financial concepts using relatable stories and examples to make it easier to understand and apply.

We cover:

  • Setting up checking and savings accounts

  • Budgeting basics

  • Saving and investing

  • Understanding and building credit

  • Evaluating student loans and college costs

šŸ’”Ā Whether your teen is just starting to explore their financial future or is preparing to leave for college, this book offers the tools they need to make confident, smart decisions.
