College Students Aren’t So Bad at Managing Money After All, Survey Finds

NEW YORK – While millennials have a lot to learn about managing money, a new survey shows a rosy picture of college students who are working, paying their bills on time without their parents’ help, avoiding debt and hungry for more knowledge.

The survey released on Thursday by Sallie Mae on how U.S. college students manage their finances found that 77 percent are paying their bills on time and 73 percent of them are doing this on their own. Just over half save money every month.

Sallie Mae, the largest private student loan company, surveyed 800 currently enrolled college students aged 18-24 in December.
