TAKE CONTROL

Join the UCSB Personal Finance Club today

ABOUT US

The goal of the Personal Finance Club is to provide an opportunity for students to take control of their finances. We will discuss topics like taxes, insurance, student loans, and investing in order to achieve better financial literacy and security. We hope that providing a space where like-minded students can meet will foster a sense of discipline and analytical thinking. It doesn't matter if you are an expert or know nothing about personal finance. Everybody is welcome!

About

OUR MISSION

It’s a downright shame that more than half of the citizens of the wealthiest nation in the world don’t have a good plan in place to avoid blowing all of their money before they die. While many factors are certainly at play, the most glaring perpetrator is financial illiteracy.

 

Financial illiteracy causes many people to become victims of predatory lending, subprime mortgages, and fraud and high interest rates, potentially resulting in bad credit, bankruptcy or foreclosure (Investopedia).

 

We want to provide an opportunity for those who need just a little push to get rolling on a lifetime of financial well-being. We truly believe that with the right guidance, enough patience, and a firm desire to improve, the Personal Finance Club can be your rock-solid foundation on which you will build you Empire State Building of financial success.
