How parents can teach their college-bound kids about personal finance this year
Paid for by Regions
College is often the first time teenagers experience financial independence. They may manage their daily living expenses, such as purchasing books and meals, while dreaming of future trips and careers. Understanding how to budget and save may open doors and empower young people to invest in their futures.
This year Kimberly Heard, a first-generation college student, started her first semester at a college in Atlanta on a full scholarship. Her parents, Aisha and Danny Cobb, are incredibly proud of Kimberly’s accomplishments, and now want to focus on teaching her how to manage her scholarships so she can save and pay for daily expenses.
Watch how, in the video above, the Cobbs are able to leverage resources from tools such as Next Step by Regions Bank as they prepare Kimberly for financial independence.
