CUNA's Michelle Dosher, managing editor for consumer education, provided smart money tips for college students. She noted that while you can track your expenses, not all purchases are deducted from your account the minute you make them and one way to avoid hurting your parents' credit is to discuss exactly what their card is meant to cover: get specific and have them spell out exactly what constitutes a card-worthy emergency.

Credit unions are special because they offer an alternative financial services experience to traditional banking institutions and might offer you the services you need to utilize those savings once you reach your goal. While you might be familiar with many of the benefits of credit unions over banks, none is more powerful than the lower rates (on average) one receives on financial products like mortgages and car loans.

"They [millennials] are discovering credit unions and that we can do everything or almost everything as a bank," said Bill Hampel, CEO of the Credit Union National Association. He also told the publication that "we have to stay on top of the technology. The good thing is most credit unions are small enough to be nimble and become first adopters."

Many credit card and debit card issuers are using security software and other means to fight fraud, says Susan Tiffany, director of consumer periodicals for the Credit Union National Association. "If you're going to be outside your normal stomping ground, make sure you let your card issuer know," she says. "Even if you're just going to a different state, it never hurts," Tiffany says. And that goes for credit and debit cards, she adds. While you have that debit card issuer on the phone, ask if you have a daily spending limit or daily ATM withdrawal limit, she says. Not every card does, but it's something you want to know before you leave home, Tiffany says.
