Cash flow

According to Ed Ewing and Rachel Jasper in “Cash flow not debt causes student stress, scientists told”, university students are worried about day-to-day financial problems more than long term financial problems. They base this conclusion upon the research of Adrian Scott, who presented at the University of Manchester during the British psychological society’s annual conference. His surveys revealed the amount of money students possess is insufficient for their daily needs leading to depression, anxiety, and stress. Ewing and Jasper maintain that universities provide financial support and management services. Two students, Helen Crevel and Laura Whelan, were in agreement with the research, stating the daily finance pressures are “the worst thing,” especially having no previous experience supporting themselves before college.
