How to Avoid Wasting Money Live on campus to take advantage of the possible room and board assistance Avoid eating out on regular basis Walk to class Spend money on things you need, not want

Loans College loans are expensive Many of you will not have college loans due to the NROTC Scholarship However, if you do make sure you have them correctly financed Pay them off as soon as you can

Credit Cards If you spend $4,000 on credit cards at 18.5% interest and pay only the minimum payments, it will take you 11 years to pay off ($7,800 total) Make sure you stay on top of your payments if you choose to get a credit card

Credit Cards Continued Build good credit by consistently paying your bills on time Do not carry a credit card balance month to month Having good credit will open many doors for you in the future If you neglect your bills it will hurt you credit history and make life difficult for you in the future

Credit Card Tricks The old bait and switch Musical Address Over the limit fees Cash advance fees and rates Increasing the rate based on other accounts

Signs of Predatory Lending 1. Triple digit interest rate: Payday loans carry very low risk of loss, but lenders typically charge fees equal to 400% APR and higher 2. Short minimum loan term: Payday customers unable to repay their loan within two weeks are forced to get a loan "rollover" at additional cost. In contrast, small consumer loans have longer terms 3. Lenders who advertise to E-1, E-2, and E-3s are often looking to take advantage of their lack of financial management experience 4. Single balloon payment: Unlike most consumer debt, payday loans do not allow for partial installment payments to be made during the loan term. A borrower must pay the entire loan back at the end of two weeks
