Pitfalls Commonly Faced by Students
Students
have made some very popular mistakes which you can avoid. Some are
comical but others are very serious. This section shows you what
those mistakes are and how to avoid them:
Overspending
- This is the problem that is most feared. We've all heard
the nightmare stories about spending gone bezerk. However, there
is a great way to combat overspending. Discover recommends that you
track your transactions similarly to the way you track your checkbook.
You want to record purchases, update balances and register payments.
We have a simple device that we can give you. Just send us your
name & address and $3.00 for shipping and handling and we'll
mail you a handy "transaction recorder" that fits over
you credit card. You'll never be surprised by your balance ever
again!
Overborrowing
- don't let the tide of unpaid interest swallow you up.
Keep your balance manageable.
