Financial literacy is a set of skills and knowledge that lets us make informed and effective decisions about money. For college students, it’s particularly important. Living on your own for the first time comes with its suite of financial pickles. How much to budget for food? Is this textbook too expensive to buy? Should I repay part of my student loan now or later?
These are important questions that need urgent answers. Yet, many students in US universities have not had any formal education on the subject. This leaves them stressed about their finances, and potentially impacts their studies. Conversely, those who have taken mandatory classes on financial literacy in high school were found to make better decisions later in life.
