A new study from Laurel Road has found that a majority of recent college grads think a course on personal finance would be extremely beneficial before graduation. Alyssa Schaefer, CMO of Laurel Road, chatted about why young graduates are craving basic financial literacy with Cheddar News' Vanessa Freeman.

How much money should your emergency fund contain? A good rule of thumb is three to six months' worth of essential living expenses. This means that if you spend $3,000 a month, on average, you should aim to have $9,000 to $18,000 in the bank.

"When it comes to finances, ego can quickly take over, especially with competitive people, but good relationships can’t be built on trying to beat your partner," Derek Peth, SVP of banking at student loan refinancing site Laurel Road, tells Bustle.

If recent poll numbers from Harvard are accurate, young Americans are set to turn out for the 2018 midterms in record numbers. A survey of about 2,000 people between 18 and 29 conducted by the university’s Institute of Politics (IOP), found that 40 percent definitely planned to vote.

According to a new survey from Laurel Road, 83 percent of millennials said that higher education affordability & student loan debt will influence their midterm election vote. Alyssa Schaefer, CMO at Laurel Road, was with Cheddar to explain why the issue is holding so much weight for young voters.

Whether you're trying to consolidate high-interest debt, pay for a home improvement project, or nearly any other purpose, Laurel Road personal loans could help you achieve that goal.
