Keeping up with these financial responsibilities can quickly become overwhelming, but ignoring them will only increase feelings of stress, anxiety, and fear. With so many things to juggle within a busy academic schedule, adding in some time every day to seek ways to improve Financial Education will help you feel less stress. Developing financially smart habits during college is a valuable investment to achieve your future goals.
