Educação financeira : quem teve orientação financeira na infância possui possibilidade em ter as finanças controladas na vida adulta?

Abstract

The present work aimed to make a theoretical contribution with the aim of identifying whether there is a connection between financial education from the ground up and the financial health of adults in Cuiabá. To this end, research was carried out with quantitative data analysis on the topic. A survey was carried out on financial education and the reality in relation to personal finances, with the aim of identifying whether financial education from childhood has any effect on the financial health of respondents. The analysis of data from the research made it possible to make comparisons between the sample of defaulters and defaulters, which allows interesting conclusions to be drawn about how financial education directly affects the financial health of young people in Cuiabá and how these effects affect society. The sample of defaulters allowed us to conclude that those who had little or no introduction to financial education in childhood tend to have more difficulty with finances in adulthood, while the group of defaulters showed that having some knowledge, even if little, is possible to achieve a financial life. balanced.
