Hello everyone,
I am about to start college in a week. As an 18 year student, I do not have enough knowledge about banks and credit cards. I would appreciate if someone can tell me which bank provide a decent services for college students.
See if your college / university has a credit union you can join. You want a checking account and debit card that don’t have any monthly fees. Credit unions usually allow you to become a member by opening a savings account, called a "share" account with a $5 deposit, and the checking account, called a "draft" account with a $100 deposit. A great benefit is also that the credit unions usually pay interest on all accounts and may possibly provide you with a student credit card as well.
If your college doesn’t have a credit union, check around your community – it is pretty easy to become a credit union member.
You absolutely do not want to open any account with any bank that is going to charge you a monthly fee for the "privilege" of banking with them! Make your money work for you!

House Floor Transcript – July 26th, 2010
Madam Speaker, in the fall of 2008 our economy was in its worst shape since the great depression. Predator and subprime lending were at an all-time high. The housing bubble had just burst and many of our largest financial institutions had gone bankrupt. Retirement and savings accounts were cut in half, forcing many to stave off retirement and continue working well into their golden years. Over 200,000 American workers were being laid off each month. In the state of Ohio unemployment was growing rapidly, quickly approaching double-digit numbers and in my district, the unemployment rate was even higher. In October of 2008 I arrived in congress with the goal to — arrived in congress to help — congress with the goal to help struggling Americans. I have consistently advocated for such policies. The Congressional Black Caucus and the Democratic Leadership made it our duty and responsibility to advocate for jobs. Earlier this year the house passed H.R. 4213, the American jobs and closing tax loophole act.
In Ohio alone, Madam Speaker, this legislation would have extended unemployment — Madam Speaker, this legislation would have extended unemployment and COBRA benefits. It would have provided college tuition deductions to 150,000 students and allocated over 42 — $42 million for youth summer jobs. For the nation, H.R. 4213 would have provided 500 million to restore credit — $500 million to restore credit to small businesses. The same small businesses that are creating most of the jobs in this nation. It would extend the research and development tax credit and finally it would have granted $25 billion in bonds for infrastructure development. However,
Madam Speaker, there has been no action on the part of the Senate while Americans continue to suffer. In May of 2010 the house appropriations committee drafted a war supplemental that included necessary funding that protected our soldiers abroad and our workers at home. This thoughtful legislation included $23 billion to save jobs for teachers, $5.7 billion for Pell grants, and $500 million to save firefighters’ jobs. However, once again, Madam Speaker, the senate passed the legislation without any of these necessary job creation measures. The Senate must act now to help hardworking Americans.
The Congressional Black Caucus and the house Democratic Leadership fought to keep creation and job-saving measures in this bill. We fought back in legislation that included $10 billion to save teachers’ jobs. Almost $5 billion for Pell grants, $4.6 billion for settlements of the discrimination cases and on Thursday, just this past Thursday, the Senate once again rejected these measures.
I have always believed that it is the job of government to help its people. If we are not helping the people that we represent I don’t know why we’re here. I ask the Senate, where is your job creation legislation? What are you doing to help teachers, to help police officers and firefighters? What are you doing to get the American people back to work? We cannot allow American families to suffer through these difficult times any longer. They are counting on job creation measures and we cannot let them down.
I urge the Senate, Madam Speaker, to move quickly to help create jobs to get Americans back to work. If we do not allow Americans to go back to work and make people believe that because are you unemployed you are lazy, to make people believe that because are you unemployed that you don’t want to work, it is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life. The people I meet in my district every day, every weekend that I’m home, they talk about wanting jobs, they talk about how they have been laid off, they talk about wanting to get jobs for the young people. Do you know, this may be the first summer in history where young people’s jobs may in fact be feeding their families, but yet we can’t pass a jobs bill that will allow young people to work for the summer. If young people have things to do, maybe we wouldn’t have the kinds of issues that Ms. Kaptur talked about.
We have to find a way to say to the American people that we do in fact hear you, that we do in fact know that you are our neighbors, our friends, that we know that you are the people who are in most need and if we can’t help those who need the most, we really are a group of people who has lost sight of what our role is.
There are people doing very, very well here. Corporations have made more money in the last year, I think it’s something like 43% — their profits are running 43% higher than they did the year before, yet we can’t take of the everyday person on main street? They’re getting richer and poor are getting poorer and there’s a something — and something needs to be done. I would at this time, Madam Speaker, yield back my time with the caveat. I expect that the Senate will do its job because certainly those of us in the house will continue to do ours.

Want to retire rich? If so, weve got some news for you. Retiring rich is NOT about how much money you SAVE. That is to say: it is not so much about what you stash away now and what you “do without” on a daily basis in order to increase your savings rate, but rather the amount of interest you make on what you save.

401(k) hardship withdrawal eligibility, individuals must demonstrate an immediate and heavy financial need, according to IRS regulations. Certain medical expenses; costs relating to the purchase of a primary home; tuition and education expenses; payments to prevent eviction or foreclosure on a primary home; burial or funeral expenses; and repair of damage to a primary home meet the IRS definition and are permitted by most 401(k) plans.
People under 59 1/2 will pay a 10% penalty for early withdrawal in addition to taxes.
Fidelity said it’s seen the number of workers taking 401(k) loans over the past year grow to 11 percent of total active plan participants from about 9 percent one year prior.
The portion of accountholders with a loan outstanding increased two full percentage points in the second quarter to about 22 percent. That figure is the highest in a decade!
