    Money Tips

    College is Costly, But You Can Stop Your Child Running Out of Cash

    By Laura CyraSeptember 27, 2016No Comments3 Mins Read

    If you’re going to be sending your child off to college soon, you want them to be prepared. Most importantly, you want them to be financially secure and stable while they study. Here’s what you can do to stop them running out of money.

    Choose a Less Expensive College

    There are all kinds of different colleges in the country. Some of them are more costly for students to attend than others. This is something that definitely needs to be taken into account when your son or daughter is choosing which one to attend. There is no getting around the fact that many people want to attend the most expensive options. But by choosing one of the less costly colleges, the entire college experience will be so much more affordable for your child and your family.

    Teach Them How to Live Cheaply

    If your children can live cheaply while at college, they will be able to conserve money. This is important because they won’t run out of cash and come running back to you. So, teach your children how to live cheaply before they actually head off to college. Show them how to save energy around the home. And also teach them about buying and cooking food that’s cheap and easy. When they don’t have to rely on takeaways, they will save a huge amount of money, which can only be positive.

    Seek Out Grants and Scholarships

    There are many different forms of financial aid that you can get from various institutions. You should always aim to seek out the very best grants and scholarships for your child. If you can do this, your child will have access to money they wouldn’t otherwise have had. Paying back financial aid is an issue that you will have to look into. Most grants and scholarships don’t require repayment in the way that loans do. But it’s always vital to check all the small print first.

    Encourage Them to Work

    Balancing their social life and their studies can be difficult for your child. But there is always spare time that can be used to earn a little extra cash. Having your child support themselves while at college is important for many reasons. Most importantly of all, it teaches them the value and importance of work. They will see what goes into paying for the things they need. It can be a truly formative and important experience for a young person who has never had to do a job before.

    Offer Support But Not Unlimited Cash

    As a parent, it’s only natural that you should want to support your child in whatever way you can. But there is a difference between offering some financial support and offering unlimited cash. If your children see it as easy to get money from you, they will take you and that money for granted. That’s certainly not a good thing in the long or short-term. It simply teaches them that they can always come running back to you when they spend their money recklessly and stupidly.
