AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - WTAMU and Education Credit Union have joined forces to offer students financial advice to help them graduate without debt, save money and make purchases.
Eight financial workshops will be held between April 6 and April 21.
Education Credit Union Buff $mart will host the Advanced Money Management Workshops through Zoom and in-person sessions.
“Our goal is to provide financial knowledge to students on how to graduate with little to no debt and become financially independent,” said Meghan Williams, ECU Buff $mart coordinator. “We are partnering with the WT Alumni Associations and key alumni from the community to provide our students with financial education on topics that are of great importance to them as they prepare to head out into post-collegiate life.”

The average American spends $164.76 on Valentine’s Day, according to WalletHub. That means, collectively, Americans will spend more than $21.8 billion this year.
It’s hard to imagine such an astronomical number for one day of the year, but whether or not you celebrate Valentine’s Day, we could all use some tips on how to appreciate the ones we love without breaking the bank. Education Credit Union Buff $mart recently hosted a “Dating on a Budget” workshop featuring tips and tricks to do just that.
Treating someone to a nice date does not have to cost a huge amount. For example, more simple venues, like coffee dates, actually allow you to sit down and get to know your significant other in a more relaxed and engaged way. These are especially nice during the COVID-19 pandemic, where outdoor patios still offer the enjoyment of someone’s company in a safe, outdoor space.
