FDIC Consumer News Publishes a Special Guide to Money Management for Young Adults

The latest FDIC Consumer News (Spring 2005) is a special issue devoted to helping young adults, including those just beginning a career or family and others still in college or high school, learn the right ways to save and manage money right from the start. The new publication, entitled Taking Control of Your Finances: A Special Guide for Young Adults is now available on this FDIC Web site.

It features:

Common Mistakes Young Adults Make with Money and How to Avoid Them. These errors include buying unnecessary items; failing to consider the cost of interest charges and other fees; getting too deeply in debt; paying bills late or otherwise tarnishing their credit record; having too many credit cards; and not saving enough for the future (including retirement).
A To-Do List for Key Stages of Your Life. The new guide offers ideas young people can consider at four different times – during high school, during college, when starting a career and when starting a family.
A “Financial Aptitude Test” – the F.A.T. Take our interactive quiz, which is based on the information presented in this special guide.
Other topics include ways to protect against identity theft and other fraud; five things to know about credit cards and checking accounts; electronic banking services that young people might find attractive; the right way to fix a problem with a financial institution (including why to put a complaint in writing and to act as soon as possible); and basic information about FDIC insurance coverage.
