Why Citi and Equifax won’t help you save for your Gap year

As an electrician, I’m always looking for new ways to save for my Gap year, whether that means going to a new company, starting a new business, or buying new furniture.

For the first time in years, though, I won’t be able to do either.

That means it’s my turn to make up the gap.

And I’m not alone.

According to the American Association of Financial Planning (AAFFP), only 18% of people with a bachelor’s degree in financial planning are actively saving for their Gap year.

And with a high percentage of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, the gap is even bigger.

While it’s easy to save in a timely manner, it’s also crucial to keep your financial planning and budgeting up-to-date and to be proactive about your choices.
