Graduation season is wrapping up and the newly-educated are transitioning into being responsible adults. This can include getting a new job, buying a car, renting a new apartment and, unfortunately, adding on more financial debt.
Luckily, GEICO has created GEICO’s On Your Own, a website that addresses a variety of topics to help young adults tackle everyday financial decisions such as car buying, renting and managing their money.
For example, do you know the relative merits of buying or leasing a car? What about how to save money on auto insurance? Is it true that red cars are the most expensive vehicles to insure? (The answer is no.)
GEICO’s On Your Own also helps young adults manage grownup financial burdens like credit cards, and dangerous pitfalls such as identity theft. Want an apartment, but don’t know what to look for? GEICO provides tips on finding the right apartment and why renters insurance should be a necessity when renting.
Ready to be on your own, but don’t have a job? Don’t fret. GEICO is hiring all over the country, and offers college grads leadership opportunities through its Emerging Leaders and Supervisor Leadership programs. This way, you can start paying off those student loans and start saving for retirement at an early age.
What advice can you give young adults as they transition to be on their own? Let us know in the comments.
