But now that school&#8217;s out, you&#8217;ve got some big decisions to make, the least of which is what you&#8217;re going to do with all that graduation money.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re fresh out of high school or <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id1255-22-signs-your-college-degree-might-not-be-worth-the-money.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a newly-degreed college grad<\/a>, here are seven smart ways to handle that influx of cash:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Offset College Costs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It may not make a huge dent, but high-school grads may want to consider using their newfound cash to help offset the cost of their college education. It may not seem sexy, but it&#8217;s super smart.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Budget It<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You probably have dollar signs in your eyes right now staring at that Scrooge McDuck-worthy pile of cash, but this isn&#8217;t the time to go on a free-for-all spending spree. You&#8217;ve got real-life expenses coming up &#8212; so it&#8217;s important to budget even your gift money.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s so common to ignore the fact that your spike in income after graduation is maybe and probably temporary,&#8221; reminds Nicole Laoutaris of RateHub, a financial service provider. &#8220;Gifts from family and friends only go so far, and if you have a new job, you&#8217;ll find soon that you have new financial responsibilities that go along with that: moving, higher rent, new clothes for work, travel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Spend It &#8212; Frugally<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>OK, so you don&#8217;t have to budget <em>all<\/em> your grad money toward the rent. If you&#8217;ve paid your bills this month, <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id24366-4-steps-to-help-you-splurge-on-a-treat-2.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">treat yourself<\/a>. Just make sure your stay conscious of how much you&#8217;re spending.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you&#8217;re going to spend a little extra money on that post-graduation trip, be frugal,&#8221; Laoutaris says. &#8220;Make breakfast at home, bicycle around your city, and continue to socialize with friends at someone&#8217;s house instead of overspending at bars and restaurants.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pay Off Your Credit Cards<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Credit card companies had me pegged from the moment I turned 18. I started receiving phone calls and <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id17854-3-things-you-should-never-pay-for-with-a-credit-card-and-one-you-always-should.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">offers for credit cards<\/a>, and of course I signed up for all of them &#8212; because freeeee mooooneeeeey! That went down like a lead balloon, which is why I&#8217;m a personal finance expert today telling you how to manage your money. Live and learn, folks.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a college grad, consider using that cash influx to pay off your student credit card balance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pay Down Your Student Loans<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While you should probably put some of your graduation money toward your student loans, just how much is a matter of consideration.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Be careful about paying a large amount of your student loans back,&#8221; says financial planner and investment adviser Jaycob Arbogast. &#8220;If you drop below $30,000 in federal loans you&#8217;ll no longer be eligible for extended repayment plans. So make sure to choose your payment plan first.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Invest It<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you were a business major in college, you probably don&#8217;t need me telling you <a href=\"https:\/\/lenpenzo.com\/blog\/id32070-8-powerful-ways-you-can-invest-in-yourself-3.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">how to invest<\/a> your graduation money. But for all you other majors out there that don&#8217;t know the first thing about investing, listen up: Investing is critical to personal wealth building, and there&#8217;s no better time to start than the present. There are myriad ways you can invest &#8212; stocks, starting a new business, in yourself by furthering your education &#8212; but what&#8217;s most important is that you&#8217;re actively pursuing it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Put It In the Bank<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re at a crossroads in life and unsure of how to manage your graduation money in a positive way, then send it to the bank. Out of sight, out of mind, can be a good thing if all that cash is likely to start burning a hole in your pocket &#8212; especially if you don&#8217;t have a good-paying job after you graduate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Figure out what your major life goals are,&#8221; Laoutaris advises. &#8220;Then put that extra money into the right type of savings account so you can start accumulating interest right away. You&#8217;ll thank yourself later.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"font-size: smaller;\">Photo Credit: Mark Ramsay<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congrats, Graduate &#8212; you did it!
