Personal Finance

Recent research shows that 70% of college students feel stressed out personal finances. 60% of students are worried about not having enough money to pay for school, and about half are not sure if they will be able to meet their monthly expenses. Financial pressure can take a toll on your focus, motivation, and relationships and lead to economic stress. Some symptoms of this can include trouble sleeping, digestive problems, changes in weight, inability to enjoy one’s regular activities, and anxiety. Luckily, if you feel this way, you’re not alone. Making a monthly budget can significantly lessen financial worry and help you understand where your money is going. Some financial skills training can also be helpful! Cashcourse.org is a website created by the National Endowment for Financial Education to help students learn about personal finance at no cost!
