My 2 Cents

‘I know we are blown away with gas prices, but this could be a “teaching moment” in budgeting. Many students don’t know limits. We spend until our debts climb to a point where we hope someone bails us out. I think this will teach students a long-lasting life lesson: Don’t spend more than you make.’
