Today US is facing its worst recession in three decades, which should be a reminder to responsible parents that it is highly important to teach financial literacy to young adults in the family. In fact it would be a highly appreciable if it was included as a school syllabus and children were taught the nuances of financial management at an early age. Today there are more number of college students relying on their credit cards instead of their parents or other sources of income. In fact there is a steep 46% increase in the average amount of debt taken by college students. The primary reason for this sudden steep rise is due to the possession of four or more credit cards by a student. This leaves them with a huge $7000 balance by the end of their college year. The pity is that one-third of students rarely or never discussed credit card issues or usage with parents and do not care to learn to the nuances of using one. Using budget planning software right from early college days can help them to save well and use their finances to pay for college education. Using online financial tools like personal money management software or personal budget calculator can make sorting of financial matters simpler and faster.
