While you are trying to achieve you financial goals, there maybe road bumps in the way. This can include distractions from your peers, causing your money to go somewhere that you don't want it to. In college and with friends, there will arise many opportunities for your money to be spent. Some of your friends may be lucky enough to have money to spend but if you feel pressured, cannot afford to do something, or simply don't want to because it might upset your financial or long term plans, don't be afraid to say "No, I can't. ". Remember that YOU are the controller of your money; if you don't want to or can't do something that your peers are, you don't have to. Resisting peer pressure now may have its benefits late on when you are able to achieve your financial goals.
