With every new influx of students who join the academic communities across Britain, students and their parents are worried about the financial aspects of leaving home. Students have an estimated buying power of 13 billion - so they are fair game for any one looking to make money from the inexperienced.. A short "popular economics" book; offers advice, information, tips and check lists on how to understand banks, credit cards and letting agents. The book deals with simple money management, accommodation search guidance and how NOT to spend money; along with warnings about APRs, credit ratings and how banks just want you for your money! Everybody has, or knows someone who has, people of this age group who are about to launch themselves onto this slippery platform, or who are already ruing the pitfalls of living away from home. Anyone who hands over their hard-earned money needs to make sure they and their offspring have as much information and advice at their finger tips as possible.
