Welcome to the Money Talks Podcast! In today’s episode, we’re getting honest about the financial mistakes we made in college — and the ones we really wish we could take back. From not having a budget to treating credit cards like free money, we’ve been there.

We’ll talk about the long-term impact of bad spending habits, the trap of high-interest debt, and the importance of creating a financial plan early — even when it feels far off. Plus, we’ll dive into the realities of co-signing with parents, peer pressure spending, and missing out on discounts and scholarships that could’ve saved us big.

Whether you’re trying to avoid debt, save for something big, or just want to feel more in control of your money, we’ve got tips to help you take charge.
