Show Notes

Back-to-school season can put added pressure on the family budget—but a little planning can help keep those costs under control. Retirement.Radio’s Matt McClure talks with Lora Monfared, Consumer Credit Card Executive at Bank of America, about practical ways parents and grandparents can save on school supplies, technology, clothing and other essentials.

They also discuss how to teach teens the basics of budgeting, encourage responsible credit use, resist the pressure to overspend and begin building an emergency fund. It’s a timely conversation packed with simple strategies families can use during the school year and beyond.

Whether you're preparing for retirement or simply looking for practical ways to make your money go further, this interview is packed with actionable tips you can start using today.
