MMFBT 002 – Surviving Your First Year at College or University is posted originally on My University Money.


Kyle Prevost and Justin Bouchard, the minds behind the popular book *More Money for Beer and Textbooks*, bring their straightforward, no-judgment financial advice into a new format with their My University Money podcast. Both were once students figuring things out themselves-Kyle is now a teacher and student debt expert, while Justin serves as a Dean of Residence and entrepreneur-so they understand the real pressures facing young people and their families. This isn't about abstract theory; it's practical guidance rooted in their own experiences and their work as leading personal finance bloggers. Each episode tackles the specific money questions that come with post-secondary life, from managing student loans and avoiding debt traps to finding side hustles and building good credit early. They break down complex topics into actionable steps, offering a crucial roadmap for students aiming to build a stable financial foundation before they even graduate. The conversation is relatable, often humorous, and always focused on empowering Canadian youth to make informed decisions with their money. Tune in for a candid discussion that treats personal finance not as a scary obligation, but as an essential skill for unlocking future opportunities and independence.
