The impact of financial management reaches all age groups, from children being
supported by their parents’ income to senior citizens living with the repercussions of
their retirement planning decisions (or lack thereof). College-aged students are a
demographic with a unique set of circumstances that make focused studies on this
group meaningful. For many, young adulthood is the time where lifelong habits and
behaviors are formed. Routines and preferences are established, and decisions are
made that will affect the path in life that each person will take. College students,
specifically, are in a time of significant transition.(Widener, 2017)
