We flew to Boston, then took a rental car and visited 14 states in 21 days. it was exciting at first, fun after one week and tiring in the last week.

I received very early lessons on managing finances and investment from my father. Read more on my about page. I feel teaching your children about money is an essential part of their education. Unfortunately it’s not taught in schools, so it’s your job as a parent to make them financially aware which should help them become a better at managing their finances. I had written about early financial lessons to your children and financial advice for young adults. This is a guest post from Patrick he runs the blog Daytodayfinance. Enjoy the post!

Finance for teenager

Are you parent of a teenage girl? If yes then you already know that your little girl is all set to take her own decisions and plan her future. All she needs is your guidance and advice. If you think that she is too young to manage finance then you are wrong. Teenage is the perfect time to explore all the fields of life and learn financial lessons.

These days, it seems there’s no end to what’s available to buy in supermarkets. A wide range of household provisions has always been available, but in recent years, the range has been increased dramatically to include services too, such as life insurance, auto insurance, car breakdown services, Internet access and many other services. This greater freedom of choice brings with it more temptations to spend money, so it’s important to be cost-conscious. There are great savings to be made in supermarkets; you just need to be aware of them.

Shopping Add to it the McDonald, Subways and Pizza huts right beside the supermarket entrance. If you give it a pass while entering, you may not pass it on your way out. So it’s not only the products you buy but also the products and services you are made to pay for, goes to your super market shopping list.

I have a quick and simple way to determine if you are over spending at your grocer.

I come from a  country where education is highly subsidized. True there is no social security which is a big disadvantage and doesn’t outweigh subsidized education. But, I graduated with almost $0 in tuition cost. My only expense was the living cost while I was in a dorm. Even the dorm had a very nominal rental fee. After living in the USA for the last 10 years and after watching 100’s of close friends graduating from college with an enormous student loan, I wonder if the new graduates are really happy with their first job or are they worried to repay their debt.

Student Loan

Let’s start with some statistics. Almost 40 million Americans have student loan debt. The aggregate amount of loans is $1.2 Trillion, 84% increase from 2008.  Now this enormous debt started putting pressure on the US economy. While it’s arguable whether govt. should come for helping the students and extend tax breaks, loan forgiveness or other perks that they generally extend for businesses, let’s try to find a solution for your debt problem when you’ve just graduated.
