Targeting those in college or planning for college, the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau recently launched a podcast called Financial inTuition. The six episodes currently available are divided into two categories: three episodes focused on student loans, and three on basic money management skills with a focus on issues faced by students.
Each episode includes an interview with either an expert or a consumer with first-hand experience. It’s always helpful to learn from other people’s experience!
The podcast is available free wherever you get your podcasts, OR directly from the CFPB website. It is part of a broader set of resources targeting students and young adults on topics like paying for college (including information about student loans and the GI Bill), and money management information for economically-vulnerable consumers (which includes most young adults just starting out) on topics like building credit access and finding money to save. They also provide materials for both youth educators and adult educators.
Check out these resources for yourself OR share them with someone you care about!
