I'm a senior in college. How much money should I have in my savings account at this point in my life?

Um probably zero since you're still in college
i think i had 10k when i graduated (excluding student loans....which made me negative 50k)
haha Idk why you got monkey shit for this.... so many can relate to this it's not even a joke
No, cannot relate to having $10,000 when I graduated.....can relate to having $257.34 in my account on a good day.
Wait people actually have any savings as college students...?

Do you know what those symbols mean because you’re saying you have “over less than $1k”
I put college tuition on credit cards just to make it through
yeah but you're making like 250 racks a year now I bet that was worth it
Oh worth it, just no idea how you save during college
negative
I crossed the finish line in college with less than $20 in my savings+checkings
Same. I still have my bank statement from when I moved to NYC and had $8.24 in my accounts.
After a IB SA stint where they paid hourly + OT, I began senior year with $15k in the bank... I had a very fun year and ended up with $0 by graduation... no regrets though
Great thread
I had about 3k in credit card debt going into banking.
^^^This.... moved up my start date because of that credit card situation. (+50k student loans. almost all internship money used to minimize said loans)
Second that. Essentially maxed out the ole credit card.
I worked a commission sales job + had a buying/selling biz, I was making great money for being in school. Had plenty of time for social and studying. I feel like so many people in school don't work/make money at all
This. Started a business which I operated throughout university. Bought my first house before graduating.
Negative as well
