Student Spending Habits
Most of us picture college students living in grundgy dorms, wearing the same free t-shirt you get on orientation day, eating Mac and Cheese and skimping out on all kinds of luxuries that you got while living at home.
Not so. According to market research , student spending has seriously increased through the years. Now it’s all about designer clothes, fancy electronics like ipods and laptops, and even gourmet meals.
In fact, more and more adolesecents influence their family’s spending trends weighing in on big ticket items like cars, electronics and household goods.
As students become the next generation of consumers, they are more likely to sign up for student credit cards and take out loans–so they can keep up with their spending habits.
This week, we’ll tell you about the trends in student spending and whether or not getting a student credit card will build your credit or your debt.
We’ll also tell you about the popularity of student loan consolidation , in which students consolidate all their different loans to pay them back.
We are going to sum it all up and see how you will fare!
