Money stress is tough. Maybe the bills are piling up, you have student debt, you're in the red or can't pay your bills on time. Maybe you're also in debt through Klarna or other payment apps. Whatever it is: it feels like a lot. And it is. It's OK to seek help with that.

Talk to someone you trust
Many people prefer to keep money problems to themselves. Yet talking can really help. Tell your story to someone you trust, such as a friend, parent, mentor or someone at school. You don't have to explain it perfectly. Just saying what's bothering you is already a good step.
