10 Students Share Financial Advice They’ve Received

The opportunity to learn financial lessons are all around us. Whether it’s advice on how to keep track of your monthly spending, budgeting for future purchases, or even how to file your taxes, learning from someone with experience managing finances on their own can be very helpful in forging your own financial path. 

For our 50 Days of $1,000 Scholarships Giveaway on Instagram,  hundreds of students shared the best financial advice they’ve received from a mentor, teacher, or parent/guardian and how it’s helped shape their experience in managing their own money. Here are our top ten favorites:
