Parents play an important role regarding their children’s understanding and skills towards financial matters. This international study was initiated by Mihaela Friedlmeier. The major purpose of the study is to examine predictors for freshmen college students’ financial knowledge and behavior, and how these in turn affect financial well-being and overall life satisfaction.
