College Grads – Finally Making Money, But Can They Manage It?

“Today’s college grads are educated and sophisticated individuals,” said Allstate Agent Shirley Eizember, of the Pinckney Insurance Agency, 41 Port Watson Street, Cortland NY 13045.. “However, many of them have lived their college lives dependent on their parents for financial support.  Now that they are employed and establishing their independence, it is important to understand a few personal finance basics.”

Eizember and Allstate Financial Services, LLC, offers some tips for recent grads so they can start planning for the future.

• Pay Yourself First – Set aside a fixed amount of money each month for a saving or investment account.
• Automatic Deductions Are Your Friend – Having money automatically deducted from your paycheck into savings and retirement accounts assures that you’ll actually put money away.
• Open an IRA – Seriously consider a Roth Individual Retirement Account.  Although Roth IRAs are built with after-tax dollars, they offer tax-deferred growth and tax-free distributions after age 59.
• Buy Life While You’re Young – Many people may feel they don’t need life insurance when they are young. While your financial needs may be lower at a younger age, the rates may also be substantially cheaper when you’re young.

In the realm of financial planning, adopting strategies such as “Pay Yourself First” and leveraging automatic deductions from paychecks ensures a disciplined approach to savings and investments. Setting aside a fixed amount monthly and embracing tools like Roth IRAs for tax-efficient growth are key steps toward securing a stable financial future. Additionally, recognizing the importance of life insurance, especially when younger, allows for the acquisition of more affordable rates and establishes a foundation for financial security.
