<p>When planning on how I will pay for college, how much money should I save for after graduation assuming I will start working a.s.a.p.</p>
<p>lgellar. I’m not sure I understand your question. The amount you save will be related to the amount you are being asked to spend. Regardless…you should know that any money saved in YOUR name is tapped at a much higher percentage when you apply for finaid than money saved in your parents’ names.</p>
<p>are you talking about saving for after college or after hs to pay for college?</p>
<p>I meant after graduating college.</p>
<p>When I first started a job after college, I was in a different state than my family. I needed first month rent plus security deposit for an apartment, the utility company wanted a deposit since I was a new customer, the job I had paid once a month so I needed food and gas money until payday. All of these expenses vary depending on your job and living situation.</p>
