Summary: Real Estate Minute with Ilyce Glink Give the Gift of Financial Knowledge to your Graduate This Year

Audio Transcript: Some kids think that the day they graduate from high school or college is the day they stop learning.

The rest of us know that the real learning is just about to begin.

So what’s an appropriate gift for your high school or college graduate? I believe that giving the gift of financial knowledge – something that isn’t widely taught in high school or college – is the best gift of all.

If you’re looking for a great gift that won’t break the bank, try a subscription to a money magazine, such as Kiplinger’s, Money, or Smart Money.

Learning the jargon is one of the hardest parts about learning to handle your money and these magazines do a great job of breaking it down to a manageable bite.

If your college graduate is leaving school with a mound of debt, Suze Orman’s THE MONEY BOOK FOR THE YOUNG, FABULOUS AND BROKE can help give him or her a way to start paying off that debt and setting aside cash for retirement.

Tune in tomorrow for some additional graduation gift ideas.
