"Personal financial literacy is the ability to understand, analyze, manage, and communicate about the personal financial conditions that affect material well being. It includes the ability to discern financial choices, discuss money and financial issues without (or despite) discomfort, plan for the future, and respond competently to life events that affect everyday financial decisions, including events in the general economy". -National Endowment for Financial Education (NEFE)
