Guides To Independence

Meet the Student Guides

The characters in Guides are young adults in college or technical school. They are a collection of friends who share their experiences—good and bad—in managing money. Some live on campus, others in apartments or at home with their parents. A few have jobs, a few are in debt and all are learning the importance of good financial habits.
