Abstract

Financial literacy is the ability to effectively manage money and make informed decisions. Making financial decisions has an important place in our lives. The ever-increasing number of financial instruments in the globalizing world leave a mark on the minds of individuals. It is important at this point for individuals to get rid of confusion in the financial arena. Increasing financial literacy and advancing financial knowledge will contribute to the development of the country in terms of both the individual and the country. The purpose of this study is to determine the financial literacy level of university students. For this purpose, a questionnaire of 100 students, who were educated at the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, was applied. Pearson Chi-square analysis was used for the data analysis. As a result of the study, it was seen that the knowledge level of the students in the sample regarding the financial concepts is low. There was a significant relationship between perception of success in the management of financial information and age and class variables.
