Know Your Financial Green While Going Green EcoLifestyle
Posted Jun 17, 2008 by Trish Smith Comments [1]

Most eco-obsessed college students are too busy fighting global warming to learn how to balance a checkbook, how to invest their money or how to avoid credit card fraud.

So we took some financial advice from our partner, Student Finance Domain, to teach all students how to be more financially prepared for life after college.

Know the Basics

Here are the finance basics that all college students should know:

  1. College is the time for you to open your first student checking account or college savings account. You need to know how to choose the right bank with the right student banking services, and make sure that it is convenient to your school and home.
  2. Know how to balance a checkbook. This might just save you a lot of money.
  3. If you’re in college you’re probably thinking about getting a student credit card or your first college credit card. Be sure to know what different types of credit cards are available to see which ones have better interest rates and rewards.
  4. Know about credit card management and credit scores and reports. Being wise about your credit can lead to huge financial advantages in the future.
  5. Create a college student budget plan to know how much you can afford to spend and what you can invest.
  6. Beginner investing in stocks and bonds will be worth your wait in the future.
  7. Student insurance can really save you from the high medical bills and unexpected events of college.
  8. So many students rely on financial aid, so it’s important that they know how to apply for financial aid, the different types of financial aid forms, and how college grants and scholarships can help cover the cost of tuition.
  9. There are so many different types of student loans to choose from, so you should always compare student loans to see which one is right for you. Student loans are available from the government and private institutions, which both offer undergraduate college student loans and graduate school loans.
  10. Other resources are available to students to help them pay for college. Examples are federal work study, the Montgomery GI bill, student community service, ROTC and tuition payment plans.

The more you know at a younger age about your personal finances, the better off you’ll be when you’re older.

It’s advantageous to know how to be eco-friendly and how to manage your money at the same time. The effects of both will make your future much better.

Here is a new product that students can use to save money at the pump! Title: New affordable CBAC-fuel chip can save $1.00 per gallon on gas or diesel! LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- www.cheapcleanandgreen.com, a new going-green internet product distributor, just in time for summer driving. In association with EMR, the products developer, has became the online retailer of a new fuel saving & air cleaning technology! After over a decade of research, using what they call "digital biology". A simple & now affordable chip, the size of a quarter, placed on your gas tank, produces startling results. From increasing fuel economy up to 26% and cutting smog emissions by up to 80%. Darren Smith, President of www.cheapcleanandgreen.com say's, "..the product should be interesting to the public for a variety of reasons; including: a) the current rising fuel prices b) the debate over global warming c) the bio-fuel dilemma of rising food prices d) the U.S. presidential debates over which candidate, has the best plan to resolve these issues! ..." Furthermore, Smith said, "...this new product, lasts for 3-years, is easy to install, without tools, on any car, truck, SUV or boat. And helps solve all of the above problems, quickly, easily for an affordable price. Without waiting for the politicians, oil companies, experts to decide what to do. This new technology allows the average American, global consumer to fight back, save money, improve his/her life, help the planet, right now, today!..." Many ask "How Does It Work"? Well all that information and more is made available for free on our website www.cheapcleanandgreen.com, but basically, the CBAC-fuel chip emits a magnetic-like energy field, which raises the quantum coherent level of the energetic structure of petroleum. Thus conditioning certain specific energy structures, the toxic elements are neutralized while octane and oxygen energetic are increased prior to combustion. An easier way of saying it, is, quoting some users: "…I am so impressed with this product, because it really, really, really works!…" Dan G. of Roswell GA. & "…My new anti-smog chip saved me about $853.00 in repairs…" Richard E. of Escondido, CA. & "…incredible; it is saving me about $900.00 a year in fuel costs!…" RCH of Las Vegas, NV. During this time of what some are calling "Peak Oil", this energy saving product and many other environmentally beneficial ones, need to be made available to the public!
