Financial Knowledge of Higher Education Students of Economics

This study presents some partial results of a complex research. The original research topic is the comparison of the financial literacy and security of Hungarian and foreign students as a result of environmental crises. In this study, we examined the impact of individual-family financial difficulties caused by economic crises. Our aim was to show that without the right level of financial knowledge, these problems cannot be solved properly. Only undergraduate students in economics were included in the present study. On the one hand, we examined the area of investment because it is one of the possible ways to create personal financial security. The other focus point was the practical application of knowledge, the study of shopping habits. Our results draw attention to the importance of practical knowledge
