Matthew B on 17 Nov 10HUSTON, SANDRA J. "Measuring Financial Literacy." Journal of Consumer Affairs 44.2 (2010): 296-316. Academic Search Complete. EBSCO. Web. 17 Nov. 2010. This journal was written by Sandra Huston. In her journal she attempts to define exactly what financial literacy is. She argues that many other scholars will not address this part of the subject, which she thinks is the main problem. She also goes on to state just what kinds of obstacles people face who do not have the knowledge, or are not well educated on Financial Literacy. She even makes a statement that it is her belief that the US has problems with welfare because of lack of finance knowledge, especially when it comes to spending. The information will serve great purpose for my introduction and conclusion as well as backup for my main paragraphs.
