- <p>A variety of studies, posts on social media, and conversations with fellow college students have revealed that there’s a lack of financial literacy within our community. Financial literacy matters because it has a direct correlation between financial stability and mental health, in order to avoid unnecessary debt, anxiety and depression. This project is dedicated to helping students become financially literate and to boosting their lifelong success in order to mitigate the adverse effects poor financial choices may have on their mental health and finances. It includes a deep analysis of the four financial pillars: savings, investing, credit management, and assets & liabilities. These pillars represent the foundation of a successful, educated generation. The project includes valuable insight on the financial pillars from the director of the university’s “Certified Financial Planner” program. A comprehensive survey of college students conducted to see if there is a lack of financial literacy within the student population. To inform this project, extensive research has been carried out on financial instruments and how students can utilize them to optimize their finances. Investing in financial literacy is investing in the future leaders and well-being of our generation, allowing us to make better life decisions.</p>
