Description

We have asked Lisa, another young person who has now started at University, to share with you things about money, she wishes she knew before entering university!

Being an adult and managing your finances can be a struggle for some of us. We all know that we should plan, budget and take care of money and our spending. But how many of us do it? We are supposed to rationalise each purchase and think upfront about whether we can afford something and whether we need the item we want to buy. Or is this purchase just a way of satisfying our infinite wants?

Most of us wish we learned about money before our 20’s so by the time we are 30 we have some savings, investments and we understand how to manage the money.

"We wish we didn’t make so many mistakes, didn’t waste hundreds of pounds on useless purchases. We wish they taught us more about money at school," says Lisa.

Without high quality financial education, all young people are at some risk of having poor financial capability. It is particularly important to ensure that the approach to financial education in schools meets the needs of these and all young people.

This is why we've created the graduate money course, to educate you about the topics that will help you when it come to personal finance. As the next level up from our 'Teenager Money' course, graduate money will cover more topics and go into more depth over previous topics.
