Times have been tough lately on the money front and if you’ve been following us, you’ve probably seen all of our prize draws and competitions to help boost your bank balance!
But there’s lots more you can do to recession-proof your finances - and our latest competition, with the chance to win some great prizes, is a great time to do just that!
What is Recession-proof your finances?
This competition will help you feel more confident in your finances in these uncertain times.
We know that the current economic situation can be scary. It can sometimes feel like you’re powerless and that there’s no hope.
BUT - there is hope. And lots of it, at that.
In just 6 minutes, our pathway, ‘How to deal with a recession’, covers all the essentials you need to know to understand:
-
What a recession is
-
What causes a recession
-
How you can survive a recession and come out the other side thriving
Anyone studying at one of our partner universities or colleges who completes the pathway between 17th-28th April 2023 will be entered into our prize draw!
Here’s a list of all the participating universities and colleges.
What can I win?
The winner will be randomly picked from everyone that enters the prize draw and will get:
-
£50 to add to their emergency fund savings, plus
-
Three of the best personal finance books* to help them learn more about money
So not only will you get money to feel more financially secure - you’ll also get access to more personal finance wisdom to take your learning and financial wellbeing to the next level.
*curated by Blackbullion, of course
My uni/college isn’t on the list!
