One thing all college students can relate to is a need for money. Whether it is needed to pay for classes or to live comfortably after classes are paid for, no one can downplay the importance of having money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, not every student is skilled at keeping money<\/a> in their pockets. Some may spend all their money enjoying themselves during the weekend while others may be so strict with their money that they refuse to buy things they may need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to combat this, Sinclair has offered students access to WhichWay.org<\/a>, a free financial literacy app with activities and videos that teach students about many topics such as \u201cUnderstanding Credit,\u201d \u201cManaging Student Loans While in School,\u201d and \u201cManaging Debt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, there\u2019s about 12 different topics with each one taking about 30 minutes to an hour to complete. They offer several quizzes and exercises along the way to test students on the information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cManaging Debt,\u201d<\/a> for example, has seven subtopics that aim to teach students about ways to tackle debt such as separating needs and wants, learning the difference between good debt and bad debt, and calculating their debt-to-income ratio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnderstanding Credit\u201d also has seven subtopics and teaches students how credit works, what to do before you borrow, and the different types of credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students who wish to check out WhichWay.org themselves can reach it via http:\/\/whichway.org\/<\/a>. When registering, be sure to register with your Sinclair email as the free access is offered by Sinclair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To anyone interested in WhichWay.org who would like more information, Sinclair is holding a Zoom session titled \u201cTips, Tricks & Hidden Gems: Which Way, the Financial Literacy App\u201d on February 16th where members of the Sinclair Financial Literacy Committee will explain more about the website and engage in one of the many activities with the students.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
