Chances are that you’ll be on your parent’s auto insurance when the time comes! While you can’t control what insurance company your parents may use, you can possibly save money on your monthly insurance premium by maintaining good grades. Some insurers have been known to offer discounts to good students based on accident rates.
If you are already driving, be safe! One accident on your record can make your insurance premiums unaffordable. Automobile insurance is required by law and a lack of insurance is punishable by enormous fines and possibly a one year jail sentence.

Health insurance is beneficial for individuals at all ages. You might be young and be perfectly healthy. But what if you were to be in a serious accident or suddenly become diabetic? Healthcare costs are expensive and can quickly force a person into inability to pay or even bankruptcy. You need to build a great credit score, not create a negative score!
Employer Health Insurance
Many employers offer health insurance coverage. Be sure to sign up as the premiums are generally lower because they are part of a group rate. Even co-payments are probably less expensive than finding your own health insurance. Be sure to ask your employer about setting aside pretax dollars to help offset the cost. Many employers have a Flexible Spending Plan for healthcare premiums, out of pocket healthcare expenses and even daycare expenses!

You can keep your insurance if you lose your job
