This study analyzed the 2021 National Financial Capability Study data set to explore the role of perceived and actual financial education on financial wellbeing. Using both the direct financial education question and the state of residence variable, we investigated the role of financial education on Financial Well Being. Based on previous literature, financial literacy (objective and subjective), use of Alternative Financial Services, and various socio-economic factors were included as control variables.
