The impact of financial literacy on saving and investment behavior

Hello, we are Vaineta and Evita, second-year students of the Faculty of Economics at Vilnius College. We are conducting an anonymous survey on the topic "The impact of financial literacy on saving and investment behavior."

The aim of the study is to determine the correlations between objective and subjective financial literacy and regular saving, having a financial reserve, and investment behavior. Filling out the survey will take about 4 to 6 minutes.

The survey is intended for persons living in the Republic of Lithuania who are 18 years old and older. Participation is voluntary, and the data will be used only for academic purposes.
