A theoretical framework for financial literacy – IV
The financial literacy was first used in 1992 in a research commissioned by NatWest
Bank for the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER), which defined it as
"the capacity to make informed judgments and take effective decisions about the use
and management of money." (Noctor, Stoney, Stradling, 1992). Financial literacy is a
basic requirement for everyone who wants to avoid financial difficulties. Financial
hardship is not just caused by a lack of money (poor income); it may also be
caused by financial management errors (mismanagement), such as credit card
usage and a lack of financial planning. Financial difficulties can lead to anxiety and
low self-esteem . Financial literacy is a set of knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors
that enable people to make smart financial decisions and, as a matter of fact,
attain financial well-being. A variety of bias beliefs influence how people think and
make decisions. According to Noctor et al. (1992), financial literacy is defined as the
capacity to make well-informed decisions and make productive financial decisions. In
addition According to Bernheim and Garrett (2003), Financial literacy is a specific
element of economic literacy that is linked to the capacity to assure income, move on
the labor market, make decisions about one's own payments, and understand the
potential repercussions of one's own decisions on present and future income.
