Develop a budget to determine how much you can afford to save for college each month and what you can afford to spend on education. Your budget can also help to identify how much you‘ll need in financial aid, scholarships, and loans to afford your degree.
By creating and sticking to a budget while in school, you’ll be able to limit your expenses, use your credit cards responsibly, and graduate with less overall student debt.
Your post-college budget can help you successfully pay off your student loans while living a financially responsible and comfortable life.
