Consumers in rural and low-income areas are the most financially vulnerable and are facing challenges with their finances and depend mostly on unsecured loans to finance their daily expenses. This has been exacerbated by global financial crises, which left many consumers in financial strains. The purpose of this paper is to measure the level of financial literacy focusing on the areas of day-to-day money management, financial planning, choosing appropriate financial services and products, and financial knowledge and understanding. The quantitative research approach was used to collect primary data among adults in Vhembe District Municipality (VDM), a rural and low-income municipality in South Africa. Primary data were analyzed through descriptive statistics. The results indicate that the level of financial literacy among adults in VDM is low at 38.73%. The low levels of financial literacy have serious consequences for an adult’s personal financial management skills and lead to their inability to make correct financial decisions. It is apparent that an individual’s level of financial literacy has become important in how individuals manage their finances in today’s complicated financial world. The paper concludes by suggesting interventions that could help adults to improve their level of financial literacy, manage and sustain their financial well-being.

Personal Financial Planning

One problem for sustainability of systems pensions is how people without specialized financial training could manage their resources and their actual personal intentions towards retirement. Research objective is to analyse the relationship among several factors that affect the behaviour towards retirement, the financial management practices and the financial resources, by carrying out a structural equation model (SEM) that was tested in Spanish workers sample in three phases. The influence of financial literacy, financial retirement objectives, optimism on retirement, tolerance to financial risk, and the commitment to financial planning at time 1, are analysed as explanatory variables of financial management practices at time 2. Financial resources for retirement at time 3 are explained by financial management practices. According to results, the model can predict the 36% of the variance of financial management practices and 53% of the variance of financial resources for retirement. Thus, the model can be used for checking of knowledge of the personal financial behaviour before retirement, what enables a better personal financial planning. It would be possible to apply a model based on self-assessment in order to implement a complementary financial planning that would allow to maintain the welfare during retirement.

Using the pilot survey data on "Measuring financial literacy" in 2010 from OECD (International Network for Financial Education, INFE), this paper aims to investigate the influence of sociodemographic and financial knowledge factors on four selected financial management practices of Malaysians. The four types of financial management practices are: whether the individual plans a budget, lives within their means, is prepared for income shock and owns an insurance policy. These four financial management practices are used to measure individuals' overall financial management behaviour. The measurement of financial management behaviour is divided into three levels depending on the type of financial management practices carried out by individuals. Ordered probit is used to determine socio-economic factors that are significant in explaining the varying differences in the financial management behaviours among Malaysians. The paper also identifies the financial knowledge gaps and investigates the levels of financial knowledge of Malaysians. While the majority of Malaysians show an average level of financial knowledge and plan their budget, many are financially unprepared for income shock and unexpected circumstances. The findings show that ethnicity, income, gender, regularity of income, education, age and financial knowledge have significant effect on individuals’ financial management behaviour. The findings have implications for regulators, financial educators and consumer groups in their efforts to enhance individuals’ financial management behaviour.
