Cuming County Extension Office will be putting on the informational program. Here is some information for parents.
"This is an exciting time of life for high school seniors and their parents. As you and the young adult in your family prepare for graduation and the adventures ahead, University of Nebraska Lincoln-Extension encourages you to work out a plan for day-to-day expenses. To assist you with this discussion we encourage you to visit our website: http://www.cuming.unl.edu/4hlocal and scroll to the bottom of the page to College Bound. Those families who do not have access to the internet may contact the University of Nebraska Lincoln-Extension in Cuming County at 402-372-6006 or stop in the office located in the Cuming County Courthouse. The materials will provide frame-work for developing a plan for daily expenses plus help you discuss potential risk for your young adult –gambling and identity theft. Student Monitor, a New Jersey based research company, found that in 2014-2015 college students spend an annual average of $1989 on personal expenses such as clothing, laundry, toiletries, haircuts, entertainment, etc. and an additional $1073 on transportation including vehicle fees, parking , gas maintenance and travel costs. It is important to figure out as a family how these expenses will be covered in the coming year."
