Abstract: The study of the concept of “money” is of utmost relevance in the conditions of development of modern society. Money is an important part of economic and social relations, a phenomenon that incorporates the economic and psychological aspects. Firstly, money is an indicator of invested labor, as well as time and intellectual resources; and secondly, money allows fulfilling requirements, create motivation, and determine the level of personal ambitions. The object of this research is the student youth of Zabaykalsky Krai. The subject is the psychological and economic aspects of the stance on money among students of Zabaykalsky Krai. The goal of this work is to analyze the psychological and economic aspects of the stance on money among students of Zabaykalsky Krai. The respondents view money as means of power and superiority over other people, express worry regarding their financial state, as well as prefer making economically sound decisions in spending their finances and planning expenses. Irrationality in making purchases is also be observed: respondents can purchase they do not need, and display great generosity in presence of other people explained by their desire to seem better and more influential in the eyes of their peers. Money does not play the dominant role in the life of the young generation, rather represents the means for achieving desires, a certain positive resource that should be spent wisely.
