It’s no secret that as a college student in Cambridge, the expenses pile up from the morning coffees at Tatte to the new toiletries from CVS. Cash App is the perfect way for Harvard students to balance their budgets, easily transfer money, make payments, and save on everyday purchases.

Why Money Management Matters

With many Harvard students learning to independently manage finances for the first time, responsible money management at a young age is the key to financial security down the road. The earlier you can start saving and investing your money, the more powerful the magic of compound interest can be in securing financial freedom. For this reason, a dollar saved today is worth much more than a dollar in the future. College students are already living on tight budgets, but making sure that every dollar is going as far as it can makes room for saving earlier, therefore securing financial stability sooner.
