WROC Rochester First

According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, student loan debt has exceeded $1 trillion nationally.  That's why CPA Michelle Staebell, with the New York State Society of CPA's says it's important for recent college graduates to understand their debt, and prioritize.  But the saving should start early, well before college graduation. Staebell recommends students get summer jobs to learn the importance of a budget, and help save up money.
