Description: It soon drops in our pockets, it's gone. It seems like money never stays still, especially when it’s our turn to have it. With rising costs and stagnant wages, college students’ mentality towards navigating adulthood has shifted. More and more students feel conflicted and overwhelmed at their near futures. With college students preparing to enter the next phase of their lives, this begs the question: How does entering adulthood change our relationship with money? In this course, students will improve their personal financial literacy skills, develop strategies to prevent financial mistakes and learn how to ease their financial fears and build financial goals for themselves. Students will view videos and hear podcasts of financial experts like Dave Ramsey, to develop concise plans to combat poor financial habits. Students will also be invited to attend talks with financial experts in real life. Students will demonstrate how mentioned financial literacy tactics can be implemented at the college level and beyond. Through change and preparation, mentality towards money can be shifted so that college students are willing to tackle the near future. By encouraging open discussion with experts and other students and improving upon existing personal financial management skills, students will be able to tackle their financial hurdles in any environment with confidence.
