Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to diagnose the behavior of young people on the financial market in terms of saving and investing money. The research was based on CAWI method, on the example of a random research sample of 261 pupils aged 17-18, participating in the 2nd grade of general secondary schools and technical secondary schools in selected poviats of the Lubelskie Voivodeship. Research results showed that the average amount of savings currently held by the respondents is PLN 5,829. Most often savings are accumulated at home (54% of respondents), almost 1/3 of respondents also have a savings account. More than 70% of the respondents set a goal for themselves when they save money, the most common is the purchase of a product or hobby-related expenses. Young people invest funds much less frequently, although there is a noticeable group of respondents who make their debuts in investing at an early age. The analysis does not provide statistically significant differences in terms of gender, place of residence, family type or school type in the respondents' answers about saving and investing money.
