给应届毕业生的5大理财建议

Whatever you do, don't skip getting insurance. Even those who are young and healthy need it, since a car accident or unforeseen illness can put you in a giant financial hole.

不管你选择做什么工作，都不要遗漏了购买保险。哪怕是年轻、健康的人也需要它，因为一起车祸或无法预见的疾病都会让你陷入巨大的财政困难。

Reduce debt. An estimated two-thirds of today's graduates will leave with student loans, and the average borrower balance is almost $27,000. Debt is such a burden that it's worth scrimping for a few years, and even delaying graduate school, to pay off at least some of the debt. That will save you in interest costs and give you far more flexibility in your later twenties and beyond.

2. 减少债务。估计今天三分之二的毕业生离校时都会身背学生贷款，借款人的平均负债额接近27,000美元。债务是一个沉重的负担，因此好几年时间的节衣缩食，甚至推迟念研究生的计划来偿还至少部分的债务，都是值得的。那样会节省你的利息成本，让你在后二十年甚至更长的时间里有更大的灵活性。

Consider $20,000 in 10-year federal loans at 6.8% interest. The total monthly payments would be $230, and total interest would add up to about $7,600 over the loans' life. Paying just $20 a month extra will shorten the repayment period to nine years and save you $900 in interest over the life of the loans. Paying a total of $400 a month─what a car payment might be─will pay off the loans in five years and save more than $4,000 in interest.
