Kerry Lutz's--Financial Survival Network

Helicopter Moms aren't enough to shield college students from adversity. Safe spaces just don't work. According to the Center for Collegiate Mental Health at Penn State University, which gathers data from 139 institutions, the number of students seeking help jumped 50 percent between 2015 and 2016. Of those students who sought help, 26 percent said they had intentionally hurt themselves; 33.2 percent had considered suicide, numbers higher than the previous year.

And according to the 2016 UCLA Higher Education Research Institute survey of freshmen, nearly 12 percent say they are "frequently" depressed.

More than 75 percent of all mental health conditions begin before the age of 24, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, which is why college is such a critical time.

There's nothing normal about this economy! The economy doesn't appear strong. And yet the Fed keeps raising rates. Sub-prime auto loans are going down. Credit card debt is escalating as well as student loan debt. Where's the economy heading? Jordan believes the stock market will keep going higher, but questions whether health care reform and tax reform will ever go through.
