My Money Playbook: College Edition
Financial Planner and Budget Workbook for College Students, NIL Athletes, and First Generation Students
My Money Playbook College Edition is a physical budget planner and financial workbook built for college students, community college students, trade school students, high school seniors heading to college, and college athletes managing NIL income. Wire spiral-bound, card stock cover, 6x9 inches, and fully undated — start any month, any semester, any time.
What's Inside
Six months of guided financial coaching exercises that build real money skills in sequence. Every month follows the same structure, so budgeting becomes a habit, not a chore.
Money Tools Included:
- Monthly budget pages with income tracking for part-time jobs, work-study, financial aid, stipends, and NIL deals
- Weekly expense tracking
- Savings goal pages
- Debt trackers for student loans and credit cards
- Net worth review
- Coach Hill's guided coaching prompts throughout every section
The income tracking pages are built for variable income. Paychecks that change week to week, financial aid disbursements that arrive once a semester, and NIL payments that show up on no predictable schedule. Every income type a college student actually has is accounted for.
Built for College Athletes Managing NIL Income
If you are earning Name, Image, and Likeness income, you already know the money situation is more complicated than your friends who just have a part-time job. NIL payments are irregular. They are taxable. You need to set aside roughly 25 to 30 percent for self-employment taxes and still have enough left to cover rent, food, and everything else.
This planner has a dedicated income tracking section built for exactly that. Multiple income sources, variable amounts, and month-to-month cash flow that does not follow a predictable pattern. Athletic departments, compliance offices, and university financial wellness programs use My Money Playbook to equip student-athletes with the tools to manage NIL income responsibly.
Built for First Generation College Students
If you are the first in your family to go to college, you are figuring out the money side without a roadmap. No one in your house has done this before. Financial aid, tuition payments, rent, groceries, and a part-time job all hitting at once, with no one to show you how to organize it.
This planner was built for that exact situation. It does not assume you already know how to budget. Coach Hill's guided notes walk you through every section, explaining what each tool does and how to use it. The six-month progression starts with awareness, just tracking what you spend, before asking you to change anything. It meets you where you are.
Athletic Departments, Student Support Services, Career Services, and college access organizations use My Money Playbook as course material and orientation resources for students.
A Graduation Gift That Actually Gets Used
Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and family friends, this is the graduation gift that does something. Not a picture frame. Not a gift card. A system that helps the student you love figure out money before life forces them to.
At $22.50 with free shipping, it fits every graduation gift budget. Works for high school graduation gifts, college graduation gifts, back-to-school gifts, and birthday gifts for college students heading into their first or second year.
For Community College and Trade School Students
Community college and trade school students have more complex finances than most four-year university students. You are often working full time, paying full adult expenses, and going to school at the same time. Generic student planners are not built for that.
My Money Playbook College Edition tracks income from any source, hourly jobs, gig work, financial aid, and everything in between. The expense categories cover rent, utilities, transportation, food, and tuition costs because that is the reality of being a student who is also a working adult.
For University Bookstores, Student Success Programs, and Financial Literacy Programs
My Money Playbook College Edition is available for bulk purchase and is currently used by university bookstores, student success offices, athletic departments, financial literacy programs, athletic departments, and college access organizations across the country.

Why a Physical Planner
Students who write their budget by hand catch overspending faster than students who track on apps. Writing forces you to see your numbers. There are no notifications pulling you away, no subscription required, and no syncing that breaks at the wrong moment. This planner works alongside banking apps, not against them.
