It was an intervention that mainly forced college students to track just how they spent their money. The purpose of the experiment was to bring awareness to the students at the end to show them what possible mistakes, or poor expenditures they had made. The study showed that when students tracked how they spent their money, they universally increased their spending knowledge, and made very few careless purchases. When these students actually tracked how they spent their money the study showed that they realized the values that their parents and guardians had taught them.
