Are Americans Financially Literate?
- Date Issued:
- 2017
- Summary:
- Financial literacy is the backbone of the American financial system. As cash begins to be used less, credit is playing a larger role in our day to day activities such as purchasing a home, car, or online shopping. This change can create trouble for those who do not have knowledge about their credit and finances. To understand the financial education of Americans, we developed an online survey about financial literacy and collected responses from over 200 people. Our findings show that there is a statistically significant difference of financial literacy based on factors such as income level and age group.
