Financial literacy is a process that is developed to provide individuals with the ability to increase financial well being. Financial crises in our country and in the world reveal the financial difficulties that many individuals have experienced in family life, the necessity of individuals to have knowledge in financial matters and the importance of financial literacy. Because every individual has a relationship with issues such as consumption, saving, credit, investment, borrowing, lending and financial risk in every stage of his life.
