Financial Literacy: An Overlooked Life Skill

Abstract

This paper serves to explore the performance of students at TCU as it pertains to the measurement of financial literacy. This paper further examines a subset of the American population that has not received much focus under the academic lens of financial literacy, the college student with a higher than average socioeconomic background. Finally, this study will measure the performance of TCU students versus the national average and a peer group adjusted for college education, in addition to evaluating and commenting on the high expectations for the college educated demographic.
