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.

What are the pros/cons of living at school vs. commuting. #campuslife #trafficjam
I want to live at School, my pocketbook says I have to commute. I live 45 minutes from campus on a no traffic, best case scenario commute. I am concerned about the time, stress and safety of this twice daily commute and will talk to my advisor about maximizing classes on certain days so as not having to travel everyday. I will also see if there are some online classes in my curriculum I can take. I am concerned I will be missing out on an important part of my college experience by not living on campus. I really don't want to incur a huge debt, but I don't qualify for any Grants or free money. It's so difficult to determine what's best for me now vs. what's best in the long run. #campuslife #trafficjam #personal-finance

Are unpaid internships worth it?
I'm currently a full time student working at a part time job. I'm currently looking for an internship to work in the public health field, but I noticed that most of them are unpaid and demand a significant amount of dedication. I understand that internships are extremely important for career advancement, but I don't know if it's worth pursuing without payment. Right now, I work part time and make enough to pay off school debt, pay for supplies, and personal necessities. I know that if I take an unpaid internship, I would struggle financially, but I just wanted to know if it's worth the sacrifice. If I was to take an internship, should I quit my job to put my 100% into the internship? Are unpaid internships really worth pursuing? #internships #personal-finance #publichealth #money-management #career-counseling #problem-solving

Most of my family and friends want me to go to Brown, but my best friend pointed out that tuition for four years at UCSD is equivalent to one year at Brown. Currently, based on students and alumni I've met at both schools, I'm looking towards Brown. Thoughts on the drawbacks and benefits, and which decision I should lean towards? #college #computer-science #finance #money #personal-finance #ucsd #brown-university
