Financial literacy is the cognitive understanding of financial components and skills such as budgeting, investing, borrowing, taxation, and personal financial management. The absence of such skills is referred to as being financially illiterate.
According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), about 66% of the American population is considered financially illiterate.
Being financially literate allows an individual to be better prepared for specific financial roadblocks, which, in turn, decreases the chances of personal economic distress.
Achieving financial literacy is crucial in today’s society due to everyday facets of life, such as student loans, mortgages, credit cards, investments, and health insurance.
Creating the right balance throughout the primary uses of money allows individuals to better allocate their income, resulting in financial security and prosperity. 11 replies
