@Andy — Thank you.

@Chris — I agree that the most important tasks for students are to learn and get good GPA. I also agree that credit card could turn into a disaster. I also think this is just a reflection of poor financial education our children received (or do not receive). How could you expect a better result if they don’t get good financial educations and learning from parents that aren’t that much better off? I think my “tip” is not a bad one, but perhaps, our society is not ready for it yet.

Establishing your credit line early is a disaster waiting to occur as most 18 year olds don’t have the financial discipline. Your advice would be for the student who doesn’t need financial advice.

Better advice is given at the top which is to work on developing your knowledge and GPA.

Great tips and as usual a comprehensive list. I have shared some tips in a recent post on and one that I highlighted (which was not on the list above) was learning to cook and avoid take away food on a regular basis. Cooking at home means you will have more control of your food finances and hopefully lower your eating/dining out costs significantly. It is also a big plus point for impressing someone on a date!

@Evan — Excellent point. I definitely didn’t work hard enough during college. Fortunately, I had a chance to redeem in graduate school and finally graduated with a grade that is more reflective of my true ability.

If there was one thing I could go back and tell myself it would be

DO YOUR WORK

I am not sure if it was me, my school, reality or a combo of all three…but I did not find college classes all that difficult (except calc. – that class beat me to shreads!). What I found “difficult” was trying to find class meaningful without doing the work prior to class.

The excuse “I don’t have time” is B.S. for 95% of college students. I worked during both college and law scool – there are as many hours in a week that you allow yourself to utilize (I just made that saying up, I think I like it).
