Financial literacy is the ability to understand how
money works in the world: how someone manages to earn or make it, how that
person manages it, how he/she invests it (turn it into more) and how that
person donates it to help others. More specifically,
it refers to the set of skills and knowledge that allows an individual to make
informed and effective decisions with all of their financial resources.
While many organizations have supported the financial literacy movement, they may differ on their definitions of financial literacy. In a report by the President’s Advisory Council on Financial Literacy, the authors called for a consistent definition of financial literacy by which financial literacy education programs can be judged. They defined financial literacy as “the ability to use knowledge and skills to manage financial resources effectively for a lifetime of financial well-being.”
