Mastering Your Financial Future with Elisabeth Aragon
What does it mean to take control of your financial future as a student or young professional? In this episode of Campus Chronicles, we’re joined by Elisabeth Aragon, founder of Chalkboard Financial, to uncover how financial literacy can empower students to move from uncertainty to confidence with their money.
Elisabeth breaks down how setting clear, realistic goals can transform the way we view budgeting, saving, and long-term planning. She shares how early financial habits—whether good or bad—can shape our opportunities later in life, and why starting small is often the smartest move.
We also dig into the social side of spending: how peer pressure and our social circles can quietly erode our financial wellbeing, and what it takes to maintain healthy boundaries around money without damaging important relationships. From navigating conversations about splitting costs to resisting lifestyle inflation, Elisabeth offers practical tools for protecting your finances while staying socially connected.
Whether you’re learning to live on your own for the first time or preparing for your career post-graduation, this conversation is packed with insights to help you approach money with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
