Abstract: In the United States, efforts to implement standardized financial literacy courses in high schools has constantly been a topic of discussion. Many proponents of this coursework believe that financial literacy is crucial to the success of students following their graduation from high school and college. Bills are consistently argued on government floors to establish a national and state curriculum and mandate for financial literacy education. The goals of this present analysis are to 1) confirm the relationship between financial literacy and financial well-being 2) determine whether or not those who have specific personality types that are considered “at risk” are significantly more likely to have worse financial stability then their counterparts. The research conducted in this project found that there is a positive and statistically significant relationship between financial well-being and financial literacy, but was unable to find a statistically significant relationship between self-control and financial well-being.
