Congratulations on your diploma! Now for the big test: managing your financial future. Even if you've been lucky enough to have avoided taking out heavy student loans you'll soon be juggling a number of financial issues, from negotiating a salary to selecting a health plan to saving for (gasp!) retirement. The editors at Money are preparing a financial guide for graduates, and we want to know what you're thinking about—OK, *worrying* about—most.

Do you have a question about financial issues you'd like us to answer? Or are you a recent graduate who's aced the financial transition from college student to working adult? If so, tell us about it using the ***confidential*** form below. We'll be in touch for more information if we're considering your story for publication. And if we do use your story, we may photograph you for the magazine.
