Abstract
Modern college students are faced with a massive amount of financial stress while completing their time at university. Small wealth events, both expected and unexpected, can have large affects on the happiness of students. This thesis seeks to outline and understand the relationship between wealth and happiness for college students. I used secondary research to define and explain pertinent societal and interpersonal forces. Additionally, a primary research study I conducted provides first hand explanation for how wealth events affect students and non-students differently. Overall, a clearer view of the wealth-happiness relationship for college students is revealed.
