Friday Faves_CompressedIt's been 2 weeks since our last Friday Faves. Say what?! I guess time seems to fly by these days because of all the fun I've been having 😉

Now that it's the end of the school year, it's time for new high school and college graduates to celebrate and get ready to take on the world. But what many of them haven't been told (or they haven't listened to) is all the financial changes that come along with graduating and moving on to the next stage of life.

With that in mind, today's Friday Faves is about about graduation!

Which is Cheaper: Buy a Computer or Build Your Own? - Clever Dude - This first one may not seem directly related to graduation, but many college-bound high school graduates ask for a computer before departing for college. Here are some things to consider if your high school graduate is in need of some new technology.

The Ceremony of Graduation - Evolving PF - Here is one blogger's account of her recent graduation ceremony. The interesting part: it was her 4th PhD celebration!

How to Manage College Life - Blonde and Balanced - For those new high school graduates going off to college soon, here are some great tips for how to manage life as a college student.

Are Unpaid Internships Illegal? - Freedom Thirty Five Blog - For many college students and college grads without job, summer internships are getting ready to start. The unfortunate part for many is that they are unpaid internships.

How MLB is Ripping Off Dads on Father's Day - Cash Smarter - Look here MLB fans as Aaron tells how the league is ripping off Dads this Father's Day.

Why Putting 50% of Your Income Toward Debt is Better Than Saving It - Frugal Portland - I love Kathleen's idea of only living on half your income and putting the rest toward savings, but in reality those of us in deb (like me) are making more progress with every dollar we put toward debt than those who are debt free and building savings.

Starting From Rock Bottom - Retire by 40 - In my first post on Retire by 40, I share my story from my rock bottom to where I am today.

That's all for this time folks. If you have any graduation ceremonies this weekend, be sure to share all of this great financial advice with the new grads. 😉
