To help prevent costly mistakes, it can&#8217;t hurt to pass along a few words of financial wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Credit Cards Wisely<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A credit card can be a convenient tool for making purchases and having a monthly record of all those transactions. It can also be a good way to build up a credit history. However, it&#8217;s not a bottomless pit of free money. Remind your kids that they are borrowing money that has to be paid back \u2014 and if the balance can&#8217;t be paid off each month, interest payments increase the cost of everything they&#8217;ve purchased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To bring your point home, an online credit card payment calculator can show them how long it would take to pay off a $1,000 balance by making only the minimum payments each month. (Chances are they&#8217;ll be bowled over to learn it could take 10 years and cost them an extra $800, assuming an annual interest rate of 18 per cent.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid Overspending Due to FOMO<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fear of missing out (FOMO) is a real phenomenon that even seasoned <a href=\"https:\/\/www6.royalbank.com\/en\/di\/hubs\/ideas-and-motivation\/article\/does-fomo-have-you-jumping-on-the-latest-trend\/j14ds2by\">adults fall prey to<\/a>. We see our peers going out for a meal or drinks, travelling or buying the latest tech gadget and suddenly we feel like we need to be part of that club. Social media often exacerbates the problem, since a network of &#8220;peers&#8221; can be in the hundreds or thousands of friends and followers. But what if you can&#8217;t afford those things?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your kids about ways they can build social relationships and enjoy student life without spending beyond their means. For example, many campus activities are free or subsidized. If they&#8217;re on a meal plan, they could eat on campus first and just order an appetizer or dessert when out with friends. Chances are they aren&#8217;t the only one trying to stick to a budget, so others in the group will likely be grateful and follow suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protect Personal Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Growing up in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcroyalbank.com\/en-ca\/my-money-matters\/money-academy\/cyber-security\/understanding-cyber-security\/what-information-are-you-really-sharing-when-you-go-online\/\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57381-2b34892f\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"link click\" data-dig-label=\"digital age\" class=\"rbc-link-format\">digital age<\/a>, your kids are probably already savvy about keeping their device and application passwords private. But the stakes are even higher now if they&#8217;ll be banking and making payments online, applying for part-time jobs using their Social Insurance Number (SIN), and possibly living with roommates for the first time. Make sure they know how important it is to check bank statements frequently, to ensure they&#8217;re using secure sites for credit-card purchases, and to update their computer&#8217;s antivirus and security software as necessary. They should also know to physically protect sensitive documents in a locked drawer or filing cabinet, and that their SIN should be given out only if absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ask for Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, you want your kids to know that if they do end up in financial straits, they shouldn&#8217;t be afraid to come to you. We all make mistakes; it&#8217;s one of the many ways we learn, after all. But, the sooner you know about a problem, the sooner you can help them fix it and, hopefully, avoid the same fate in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-rbc-default-collapsible\"><p><button class=\"collapse-toggle collapsed\" data-target=\"#collapse834a1009\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse834a1009\" data-dig-id=\"LP-57738-834a1009\" data-dig-category=\"LP\" data-dig-action=\"accordion closed\" action-closed=\"accordion closed\" action-opened=\"accordion open\" data-dig-label=\"Things our lawyers want you to know\"><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><span>Things our lawyers want you to know<\/span><\/button><\/p><div class=\"collapse-content collapse\" id=\"collapse834a1009\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-rbc-collapsible-inner-block collapse-inner\">\n<p>This article is intended as general information only and is not to be relied upon as constituting legal, financial or other professional advice.
