Personal financial management is important, given uncertainties in both financial and economic environment. However, published research on African Generation Y students’ personal finance behavior and knowledge is limited. This study aimed to evaluate African Generation Y students’ personal finance behavior in terms of their attitudes towards financial planning and whether this cohort believes that they have the skills to manage their finances successfully. In addition, this study sought to evaluate African Generation Y students’ knowledge regarding personal finance. A convenience sample of 500 African students across the campuses of two South African public higher education institutions situated in the Gauteng province was surveyed using structured, self-administered questionnaires. The t-test results indicate that the sample deems the process of planning personal finances and managing credit, insurance, investment, and estate, as important. Moreover, the students scored low in the broad personal finance knowledge areas of basic finance, saving, spending, and debt, suggesting that this cohort is financially illiterate. The results also indicated that the students think they have the financial skillset to manage their personal finances. A high Pearson’s correlation coefficient was noted between sampled participants’ personal finance behavior and their observed personal finance management skillset regarding the relationship between the constructs. However, an insignificant relationship was found between attitudes towards personal finance and financial knowledge and between financial knowledge and African Generation Y students’ apparent finance skills. Understanding African Generation Y students’ personal finance behavior and knowledge, universities and financial institutions can more effectively identify gaps and deficiencies in students’ personal finance endeavors.

The purpose of the article: the aim of the article is to present the essence of personal finance management using modern financial technologies. The paper seeks to answer the question of the impact financial literacy and the growth of the fintech solutions have on personal financial management. Methodology: the analysis leads to an answer to the question of which determinants have an impact on consumers' financial decisions and what remote tools the market offers. The paper hypothesizes that the intensification of educational activities tailored to each age group by institutions offering financial services may influence the greater use of modern tools in the process of personal finance management. Theoretical considerations are based on an in-depth query of literature on the subject. Research and financial experimentation in the field of financial knowledge and skills are presented. The secondary empirical material is used to analyze the development of the FinTech industry. Results: The effectiveness of financial education is observed only in specific financial behaviors. The financial industry is shaped by recipients, who instead of financial education, look e.g. financial coaching for a specific problem at different stages of their lives. Changes in population structure (aging population) and a large group of customers from disadvantaged groups (e. i. seniors, disabled people) require the development of new, matched strategies by banks and financial services providers. Too much self-confidence and a low level of consumer knowledge of cybersecurity is becoming a challenge for modern financial technologies.

Introduction: Cognitive and physical impairments are common in cardiac arrest survivors. Global measures including the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS), Cerebral Performance Category (CPC) and the 10-domain CPC-Extended (CPC-E) tend to improve over 1 year. The CPC-E is scored from 1-5 with higher scores signifying greater impairment. However, with the CPC-E, individual functional domains (alertness, logical thinking, attention, motor skills, short-term memory, basic and complex activities of daily living (ADL), mood, fatigue, and return to work) may recover at different rates. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that patients would have recovery in all domains of the CPC-E at 1 year after index cardiac arrest. Methods: A prospective cohort study of cardiac arrest survivors was conducted between 2/1/16 and 5/31/17. Chart review was done for baseline demographic data. Outcome measures including mRS, CPC, and CPC-E scores were assessed at discharge, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year. We defined recovery of a CPC-E domain when >90% of patients had scores of 1-2 in that domain. Results: Of 71 subjects, 35 completed the CPC-E at discharge, 35 at 3 months, 25 at 6 months and 31 at 1 year. The most common reasons for exclusion were patient declined or were lost to follow up. The majority (N=37; 52%) were female, with a mean (SD) age of 58(17) years. Most arrests occurred out of hospital (N= 49; 69%), 27 (38%) had a shockable rhythm and the majority (N=37; 54%) were discharged home. CPC-E domains of alertness (N=35, 100%) logical thinking (N=35; 100%), and attention (N=33; 94%) recovered by hospital discharge. BADLs were recovered by 3 months (N=33; 94%). The majority of patients (N=24;77%) experienced slight-to-no disability or symptoms (mRS 0-2 / CPC 1-2) at 1 year follow up. CPC-E short term memory (67%), motor (87%), mood (87%), fatigue (13%), complex ADL (74%), and return to work (55%) did not recover fully by 1 year. Conclusions: In survivors of cardiac arrest, CPC-E domains of alertness, logical thinking, and attention recover rapidly, while domains of short term memory, motor, mood, fatigue, complex ADL and ability to return to work are chronically impaired 1 year after arrest. Interventions to improve recovery in these domains are needed.
