1. Introducing PSU’s Smart Money Blog

PSU’s Smart Money  is here to help students take control of their personal finances. We want to show you where to go and how to learn more so that you and your wallet are ready to take on the real world. This is not a financial advisory blog, but instead a blog that shows you how to be self-sufficient and proactive about your finances.

How are you supposed to think about money and your future when you’re busy with classes, works, and clubs? Don’t fret, PSU’s Smart Money is designed to be a low-commitment guide for you to follow along with throughout the semester. Even just 10-30 minutes per week can have a huge impact on your financial literacy.

Through tips, local interviews, and resources that are personalized for the Penn State community, Smart Money is designed to help students at Penn State improve financially.

The Penn State Libraries is taking the initiative to provide students with information so you can understand how to find reliable sources and manage money better, whether its saving a few dollars every week or saving up for a future house. We understand thinking about money can be scary, whether it’s being afraid of checking your bank account, or being concerned about student loans. Our goal is to have students like you confident in their personal finance and for you to be informed on where to go when you need help/more information.

This blog is at your disposal to utilize what you need, when you need it. We’ll provide you with useful tips, credible resources, relevant interviews, and more to jump-start your personal finance knowledge.

College is the perfect time to learn about personal finance as you are in the transition from being dependent (living off of your parents) to being an independent adult.
