Lack of financial knowledge, age, number of credit cards, delay of gratification,


and attitudes toward credit-card use were related to debt. Sensation seeking,
materialism, the Student Attitude Toward Debt scale, gender, and grade point average
were not unique predictors of debt. Students reporting greater debt reported greater
stress and decreased financial well being. Results highlight the need for comprehensive
financial literacy education among college students.

Students with high-risk credit behavior were more likely to have driven after
drinking, used amphetamines in the previous 30 days, felt functionally impaired by
depression in the previous 12 months, had a higher body mass index (BMI), or had a
lower grade-point average (GPA).
