Greetings, Fanshawe College and Western University. Welcome to our Finance Issue — the second last Interrobang issue before the fall 2020 term wraps up for winter break.

These late November days have been dark, which surely doesn’t help with our already limited energy levels. On top of our responsibilities revolving around school, work and family, the last thing we need is to think about our finances.

And yet. The reality is that our food, shelter, clothing and education won’t pay for itself.

The point of this issue is to shed a light on a topic that often gets dismissed. Openly discussing our finances can be uncomfortable, and even scary. But readers, if you’re experiencing financial anxiety, please know you’re not alone, and there are ways to deal with the situation. This issue is packed with articles offering perspectives on side hustles, financial planning, and dealing with the impact of student loans on mental health.

Don’t forget to keep tabs on us via Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, and check out our website at theinterrobang.ca.

And so it goes,

Angela McInnes
