Credit Cards and Living Expenses and Tuition ... Oh My!
A Selection of Personal Finance Books For College Students
(or anyone who needs money management help)
They say money is the root of all evil. Money is also a necessary evil. Managing your money can be challenging whether you're in college or out in the workforce, and if I could go back, I'd do what my dad told me: budget, live within my means and pay my credit cards off every month.

Oops.

My advice to you: listen to my dad and also check out these money management books in the Library's College Success Collection!

  • Credit Card Debt: Reduce Your Personal Burden in Three Easy Steps by Alexander Daskaloff (HG179 .D37 1999)

  • The Debt-Free Graduate: How to Survive College Without Going Broke by Murray Baker (HG179 .B25 2000)

  • Frugal Living For Dummies by Deborah Taylor-Hough (HG179 .T39 2003)

  • Money Management For College Students by Karin R. O'Callahan (HG179 .O25 2002)

  • The Money Trap: A Practical Program to Stop Self-defeating Financial Habits So You Can Reclaim Your Grip On Life by Ron Gallen (HG179 .G35 2002)

Please note: these books are shelved in the College Success Collection located near the stairwell on the first floor of the Library. You'll also find books that provide practical advice on other topics like careers, study skills and note taking, getting into graduate school, writing resumes and cover letters, standardized exam preparation and time management.
