As college students, many of us are familiar with the need to be frugal and cognizant of our spending habits. It’s common for students to have a job, or maybe even multiple jobs, to pay or help contribute to the intimidating college tuition bill and expenses. But just because you might be short on money doesn’t mean you should wait to start saving and investing for the future.

For starters, get to know your bank account on a deeper level and budget your expenses. Set a specific amount of money aside for the necessities — food, gas and household items — and give yourself a small amount of money for spending on the side.

Precious metals scheme sought to steal money from elderly
The fear of waking up one day and watching your 401(k) implode has continued to fester during the pandemic, the civil unrest and and a hotly charged election in 2020.
A Maryland investor, according to a civil complaint filed by a group of regulators in September, was told that roughly $300,000 in precious metals bullion could be worth as much as $1.2 million in 10 years. At the same time, the investor was warned that every dollar could be lost in the stock market.
Pennsylvania Poised To Turn CARES Money Into School Vouchers
Parents would have to apply for the voucher, and money will be awarded on a first come first served basis. An initial period earmarks the money for families below 185% of the federal poverty level, but after November 16, any family may apply. The family can hold onto that money up until two years after the student has graduated from high school.
The allowable expenses include tuition and fees, textbooks, school uniforms, testing costs, instructional materials, computer hardware or software, counseling services, and "other valid educational expenses." Providers are not allowed to offer kickbacks to parents.
Chamath Palihapitiya rips airlines again and calls for more money to consumers and small
If the government approves further stimulus funds, they should go to individual consumers and small businesses, venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya said Wednesday.
In a searing diatribe against the troubled sector, the CEO of Social Capital expanded on comments he made earlier in the year to CNBC in which he said airlines should not be bailed out because they are so poorly managed.

Among the poor decisions he cited were not investing in research and development, saving or putting more resources into their workforces. Instead, they focused cash on share repurchases and inflating stock prices.

Lakers-Heat: Bettors have absurd amounts of money riding on NBA Finals, according to William Hill
The numbers on some of the earlier bets placed on the Heat, according to William Hill Sportsbook , are stark. Here are the some of the craziest bets they took:
Now, it should be noted that these odds changed drastically over time. When 2020 championship odds were first released, the Heat were in cap hell and hadn't yet acquired Jimmy Butler . As unbelievable as it seems, there was a moment in which a 2020 Heat championship seemed practically impossible. As the season went on, their odds steadily improved. First, they got Butler, then Bam Adebayo became an All-Star, and by midseason, they'd established themselves as fringe contenders.

Report: The Capitals are trying to move money to re-sign Brenden Dillon | RSN
The Capitals need a top-pair left defenseman and, to that end, it appears they are seeking to make sure the one they have does not make it to free agency. Washington is trying to re-sign defenseman Brenden Dillon and is trying to move money in order to do so, Elliotte Friedman wrote in his "31 Thoughts" column on Wednesday .
Dillon was a trade deadline acquisition by the Caps and the team now wants to make sure he does not turn into just a pure rental. The trade, however, did not seem to impact the team all that much considering they continued to struggle in the regular season and lost in just five games to the New York Islanders in their first-round playoff series. But bringing Dillon back is absolutely imperative for the Capitals considering how much Michal Kempny struggled.
