Do research online programs like Lumiere, Indigo Research, Polygence, etc, really help in getting into better schools?
Hi I just finished my junior year and I'm about to go into my senior year. This summer I have been looking for things to do for college and came across these research opportunities. I recently got accepted into one and I'm really excited about the opportunity of stepping into something different like this, challenging myself. These research programs come with a cost which isn't something very affordable for my family and something my parents' aren't really willing to pay. I'm really enthusiastic about this opportunity, but I want to know if the price is really worth it, if I would be spending my money on something that will positively affect my future: getting into a good college, obtaining scholarships, gaining experience for my career. This is something I'm really considering even if my parents are not really willing to pay for it, I want to know if it's worth it so I can find a way to make it work. I'm open to hearing everyone's honest opinions on the topic, thank you!

What strategies can help me be financially stable early on?
I've noticed my parents always struggling with finances due to their spending habits and lack of financial understanding. I want to avoid this for myself at all costs and was wondering how I can implement good saving and financial habits early on to avoid falling into the same debt situation myself. I want to live without worrying about money but also have the ability to spend on wants occasionally. I will start college Fall of 2025 and I will be paying for college all alone with perhaps some financial aid from college because of cutting contact from my parents and not having parental support for separate reasons. However, I still want to make good financial decisions so I don't spend my life in crushing loans and debt. I have no knowledge of finances, cards or banking related stuff, so I would love to learn all there is to know.
