You might be wondering…what does money have to do with health and well-being? Everything! Financial woes can be a major source of stress throughout our lives if we let them be. We have a choice in the matter since how we spend and save our money is completely within our control. Learning how to manage your money early can help prevent boatloads of stress both in the short and long term. And whether you have oodles of cash available or precious little money in pocket each week, the same principles apply.
Trent over at The Simple Dollar, a terrific personal finance blog, has written up the seven financial mistakes to avoid during your college career. While not all may apply to you, striving to avoid as many as possible will help with your long term financial health and reduce (but probably not completely eliminate) your stress about money while still here at Wesleyan and when transitioning to the post-Wes world.
