Budgeting, Saving, and Investing as a College Student (or in your early 20s)

In college, we tend to learn everything unimportant. We are bright minds who can explain complex economic theory in impossible scenarios, but do not know how to  build credit. This is a thread exclusively for people in their 20s who want a 0 to 1 guide to budgeting, investing, saving, Roth IRAs, and everything in between. I am constantly writing new articles about personal finance, and will be contributing often. However, I am always learning and would love to hear any advice you may have for us college students. Thanks and enjoy!

    Are you in the good old USofA ?   College student and Roth IRA are American terms.
