Today's episode is the first in our three-part series where we will be delving deep into the world of being a broke student while completing your studies. Across this series, we will discuss the challenges of managing personal finances while studying, before sharing our own financial backgrounds, how this has shaped our relationship with money today, our 'money mindsets', and the things that have helped us survive the long academic journey to becoming a psychologist.

In our first episode, we start to tackle this all-too-familiar challenge of managing money. We break down the reasons behind the financial struggles faced during our academic pursuits and highlight some research that sheds light on the harsh realities of financial stress and its implications on students.  We'll also start to get personal as we open up about our own financial journeys and how they've shaped our relationships with money today.

Join us on Mental Status as we unravel the complexities of money management in the realm of psychology, and equip you with the tools you need to thrive financially while pursuing your passion for psychology.
