Financial Literacy

Financial Literacy as defined by Remund (2010)

"a measure of the degree to which one understands key financial concepts and possesses the ability and confidence to manage

personal finances through appropriate, short-term decision-making and sound, long-range financial planning, while mindful of life

events and changing economic conditions" (p. 284).

“The development of financial education programs for college students will need to address their stage of life, cultural factors,

family influence, economic conditions, and behavioral patterns.” (Gilligan, H., p. 182, 2012)
