Abstract
This study reports a survey of personal financial planning and cryptocurrency attitudes of ninety MBA students. The findings indicate that while most respondents feel that financial planning is both important and they are interested in developing a financial plan, very few feel that they have the necessary skills and knowledge to prepare their own plan. In addition, they indicated a strong preference for professional personal financial planning advice. The study also indicates that less than twenty-five percent have prepared a comprehensive personal financial plan. When asked to identify the one professional from whom they would seek advice, Certified Financial Planners® were the preferred resource. Implications for practice and education are presented.
