About Use The Dollar
Use The Dollar is a project that aims to educate, inform, and prepare college students for the financial world.
One of the biggest problems in colleges nowadays is that students have a tough time adjusting to the real world with complex markets, debt-feeding credit card companies, and investing wisely.
Our goal at Use The Dollar is to show college students how to make the dollar work for them. We turn the complex world of markets and finances upside down in a way that can easily be consumed by folks who are already overburdened with studying and full workloads.
If you’d like to get in touch with us, or have any questions about the site, please feel free to drop a comment in any of our blog posts, or by using our contact form.
