Today’s graduation tips moves away from the classroom and more to everyday life. In your last semester at college, your spending may get a little out of control:
- Weekend Leisure Expenses
- Grad School Applications
- Graduation Photos
- Graduation Apparel (Stoles, Gowns, Invitations, etc.)
- Moving expenses
If you are currently working, hopefully these added expenses will not hurt you too much, but its important to keep track of money coming in and money leaving.
Be sure to budget out everything, as the last thing you’ll want to do is get into debt when entering the real world.
