How to Budget While in College

Proud Parent Introduction

Gail Donaldson Gail Donaldson

The following post is by Emma Donaldson, my oldest daughter.  She was home this weekend for her sister’s 13th birthday.  As we discussed her college life and what she’s learned, I told her to write a blog post about it!

Make Financial Decisions With Your Head, Not Your Heart

Gail DonaldsonAre you one of those people who let your heart get involved when it comes to money? I often see people with terrific careers doing well financially who let their heart get involved when it comes to money. Intelligence and education have nothing to do with this! What holds most back is the need and desire to help others or let others lead them.

Don’t Let Christmas Be About “Stuff”

Gail DonaldsonChristmas is just five days away and it is so easy to get caught up in the busyness of the season. I don’t know about you, but I really don’t remember a lot of the “I had to have it” gifts growing up. The ones that do stand out was my Barbie Dream House with a string that pulled the elevator up and down and a sit and spin.

Beware of Lottery & Sweepstakes Scams

Gail DonaldsonWe have all dreamed of hitting the Power Ball and thought of all the ways we would use the money IF we won. We’d pay off our debt, go on elaborate vacations, and buy a new house and cars. However, lottery and sweepstakes scams rank among the most common consumer frauds.

Beware of Bank Service Fees

Gail DonaldsonIt is important to know what we sign up for when choosing a bank or credit union. The bank must disclose the terms of the account and the service fees associated with the account. If you don’t understand something, ask questions.

Watch out for Scammers After Hurricane Michael

Gail DonaldsonHurricane Michael brought its punishing winds and storm surges before drenching the Panhandle of Florida and driving its way through Alabama and Georgia last week. Members of my own family were affected in Houston County and were without power for days. Even one of our own former Bond & Botes family members, Sara is in the heart of the disaster in Panama City dealing with the devastating damage to her hometown.
