TechVibes interviews Abhi about our initiative

Prashanth Gopalan from TechVibes interviewed Abhi about the Waterloo Banking Project in April.

He posted the interview in question-answer format. Abhi’s answers describe the project well and he mentioned Megan’s contribution too.

Here’s an excerpt.

In two years, we hope to launch the Waterloo Banking Project with a professionally trained student staff, sufficient investment capital, a partner credit union, a full suite of financial services structured to best serve students, and a share of the student market that we can expect to grow each year after that.

Through our project, we want to improve students’ financial situations through financial services and education, and reduce the burden of debt that hampers most students. It’s our hope that the Project Waterloo raises the profile of Waterloo students amongst all universities, for their stellar financial stability and confidence.

    Why Budget

    The purpose of this financial tool is to help you reach your financial goals, whether it's saving for a trip to New York or next term's tuition. It helps you discover exactly where your money is coming from or going to. For example, you might be surprised to discover that you are spending too much on food or even spending more than what you earn.

    What Budgeting Is Not

    Budgeting is not about limiting your financial freedom. You can still go for that double chocolate cheese cake or pretty Samsung Galaxy Note. Budgeting is about spending in a planned and responsible way so that you can have control over your finances. Rather than worrying about money, let money empower your life. If you are interested in getting started, here is a basic budgeting template. Remember, you can’t create the “perfect” budget right away.  Similar to a diet or work-out routine, budgeting takes persistence and constant refinement but it's well worth the effort. Update it regularly, no matter how small the transaction. This will keep your budget accurate and allow you to allocate your money more efficiently. Do you have any good tips for budgeting?
