Pulling Millennials Out of a Debt Pit

It can be Done with Proper Advice

One of the more exciting moments in a person’s career is receiving that first full-time check. Many young people who are recent college graduates have existed on allowances and stipends. Receiving wages for two weeks of work on a full-time job represents a fair amount of money. No one can blame that recent hire for spending a little extra and perhaps using a credit card. There is some danger in that first check, and a financial wellness plan can stop a new employee from going over the edge.

Excitement Can Lead to Anxiety

All the advice parents give about fiscal austerity can go out the window. A millennial will notice the amount of the paycheck and decide that credit card payments can be handled. That is true up to a point. A person can very quickly become a compulsive buyer, using credit cards even for the grocery shopping. However, the grace period on many college loans is six months. It is easy to get into a spending habit and then gets hit with the first loan payment requirement. It can cause a person to panic. Countrywide Pre-Paid Legal Services appreciates the dilemma a responsible individual can suddenly fall into. We have a financial wellness program that can provide badly needed counsel.
