Finance For Students

New York, NY —

It may be hard to believe...but it's that time of year again for millions of students...back-to-school!

And for most entering *college*...it's when they'll experience more independence than they've ever had before...and also a chance to rack up more debt....like they never have before.

In the 1990's, bankruptcies for people 25 years old and younger went up 50%.

Joining me this morning to talk about avoiding the debt trap...financial journalist Beth KO-bleyener. She's the author of "Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties."

Good morning, Beth...
