An RBC Advice Event: Making Your Money Last Through the Year
Posted on Thursday, October 4th, 2018
We posted around this time last year, one of the most obvious stereotypes of students is the financial struggle: surviving on ramen, counting out pennies (or, nowadays, nickels) for laundry, picking up whatever extra shifts come along. And it is true that your time spent in school can be among the most frugal times of your life. The fresh, crisp fall air is now out to play, and we are already in week five of the 2018 fall semester. You’re asking yourself, ‘Okay, tuition has been paid and textbooks have been purchased. My savings and loans are in hand and available to me. What next?’
Now is the perfect time to get your student finances on point. Find the resources you need for school and beyond. Get a handle on your money throughout school and manage your finances for whatever might come next. The Cooperative Education Department has invited Royal Bank of Canada to come to the AC Hub on Thursday October 11 from 11:30am to 1pm to guide you through making your money last through the semester.
It is important to make a plan for your money so that you can bank on (see what we did there?) having enough to meet your needs and expenses from now until April of next year. Having a plan for the next seven months is inherent to reducing any unnecessary financial stress or strain.
We know what you’re thinking: I either have to be an existing RBC member or sign up for RBC to attend this event and get a free lunch. Wrong! This event is open to all students and RBC is looking forward to seeing you to give you some no-strings-attached advice. This particular event is just one of a new series from RBC at Algonquin- keep your eyes open for more events like this in the future!
