Description

Most college kids feel like they are struggling financially, which affects many students in different ways. So, what can be done about this stressful time in life? To master your budget there are important steps that can be taken to better understand your financial needs. These steps include understanding income and expenses, setting financial goals, creating a budget, tracking and adjusting your budget, saving, and staying consistent. To further understand our topic, we asked ourselves “What is the impact of financial stress caused by a lack of budgeting, compared to the financial stability experienced by college students who manage their budget?”. In completing our study on budgeting, we will utilize resources such as a budgeting planner, a budget app, previous studies used, and self-evaluations. In our research study we have discovered that college students who budget overall have reduced stress. As a group, our recommendation is to make use of the resources we discussed to minimize your financial stress.
