Key terms
- Over-Limit FeeA fee charged when spending exceeds the credit limit. Now rare due to 2009 CARD Act requiring opt-in for over-limit transactions. Typically $25-35 if applicable.
- Pour-Over WillA type of will designed to work in conjunction with a revocable living trust, ensuring that any assets not already held in the trust at the time of death are transferred, or 'poured over,' into the trust. This acts as a safety net to catch any assets that were inadvertently left outside the trust during your lifetime. Assets that pass through a pour-over will still go through probate before being added to the trust.
- Room and BoardThe combined cost of housing and meal plans at a college or university, which is a significant portion of the overall cost of attendance. Room and board costs vary depending on whether you live on campus, off campus, or at home, and the type of meal plan you select. Many colleges require first-year students to live on campus and purchase a meal plan.
- Living Below Your MeansA financial philosophy of spending less than you earn, creating a surplus for saving and investing. This habit is the foundation of building wealth over time, regardless of income level. It requires distinguishing needs from wants.
