These tips from Chase will help your students get a passing financial grade and may even land them on the financial honor roll:

1. Create a budget for the school year-and stick to it.

A-List out all your income/ loan disbursements.

B-List out all your expenses.

C-Make sure A is greater than B.

• Check this on a monthly basis to make sure you're on track.
• 2. Know your budget and credit limit before you spend.
• 3. Keep track of all purchases and plan your use of credit cards.

4. To avoid late fees and build a positive credit history, always pay all your bills on time.

• 5. Learn about and track your credit bureau information and rating. Go to www.annu alcreditreport.com for more information.

Learning to handle their own finances can be one of life's most important lessons for your students.
