“Doing what successful people do is easy”, these are the words of Robert Kiyosaki in exacting the difference between being wealthy and doing wealthy (Kiyosaki, 2013). Others seek out for money as they see it as important in life. While it is important, seeking for money alone is not enough. Kiyosaki (2008) ignored money, gold, mutual funds and other assets that would make up for ordinary riches instead the focus were on knowledge, information, and wisdom. To Kiyosaki (2013, 2008), it is financial intelligence that would make up wealth.
Financial intelligence was developed in Australia by (Kiyosaki, 2013). The conceptual tool which he developed to categorize the four major ways income is earned. Depicted in a diagram, this concept entails four groupings, split with two crossed lines (one vertical and one horizontal). In each of the four groups there is a letter representing a way in which an individual may earn income.The financial intelligence (FI) was used in many studies to describe the person’s level of information and ability to use the information for financial stability.
Financial Intelligence means being Financially Educated and having a Financial Management System that works for you.It is Important that each person has a High Average Financial IQ for money has a very important role in our life today.To be Financial Educated, it starts from within. You’re decision. Decide to be financially educated, raise your financial IQ and have a financial managementsystem. Resources are available at hand. It can be your friends, family, books, newspaper and Internet. (Kiyosaki, 2012)

...financial education for their workers to increase their awareness as well as contribution for their retirement. This is due to financial information played a significant role in increasing contribution rate (Robert Clark and Schieber, 1998). Insufficient knowledge concerning the retirement savings process will enable the individual to make any optimal decisions regarding retirement savings. People can obtained information and make decision through socializing with others. There are researchers who believed that highly social people may be more likely to invest for their future saving (Bailey, Jeffrey J. Nofsinger, John J. and O’Neill, 2003). A study suggested that peer effects may be an important determinant of savings decisions. Their paper showed that peer effects are another source of extra-economic influence on people’s decisions (E. Duflo and E. Saez, 2002).
Ultimately, this study shows that it is common for one person to rely on knowledge of another person’s financial aspect of life when determining whether or not to invest interest in them. Of course, there are other matters that could have altered these results such as if racial, cultural, age, or gender differences/expectations were considered. The matter of this study is prevalent in the field social psychology as well as everyday life.

A portion of the students were placed in the class and a portion of students were not given any formal classroom financial literacy training. All students participated in the Junior Achievement Finance Park simulation in which they were placed in real-life situations and had to make financial decisions. Their decisions affected their personal income and lifestyle within the simulation. The educated group “showed profoundly greater understanding of the financial issues they faced. Their completion rates were higher, they saved more, and they spent less on immediate gratification items such as clothing. These items were consistent with the lessons offered in the curriculum they received” (Carlin & Robinson, 2012). Also, the classroom students were more likely to use available resources, known as decision supports, to help them better understand their potential decisions. An example of a decision support includes additional information provided by a business to further explain their product or its features (i.e. explaining premium options on a health insurance plan). The study believes that “timely decision support and financial literacy training are complements, not substitutes” (Carlin & Robinson,

And finally, education and training is the key, both for the consumers of financial products and the people serving them. Financial literacy impacts financial decision-making. Consumers, at the minimum, should educate themselves about basic financial concepts to enable them to differentiate between what is right and wrong. Asking the right questions about fiduciary responsibilities, fees charged and products recommended would go a long way in minimizing the potential of being taken advantage of.

In a journal article entitled "The Relation between Financial Literacy, Financial Wellbeing and Financial Concerns", Roshan Abdoreza states that a questionnaire showed that married people and men are the most financially literate, and higher financial literacy leads to less financial concern. Daniel Ray's statistics from CreditCards.com state that in 2012, Generation X(people born between the early 1960s and the early 1980s) had forty-two percent more debt than other generations. Since most of Generation X is at the age to get married, the number of financially literate married people might soon decrease greatly. These frightening statistics can be fixed as they have been in years past, but if Generation X continues in their current direction, the statistics will not change. In today's society, debt, unwise spending, and impatience are rising. Daniel Ray's statistics show that credit card debt has increased...

Whether it is dealing with the stock market, electronic commerce, portfolio diversification, or just simply allocating your assets, finance is more than just managing money. As technology progresses, the financial industry will advance and the demand for financial planners and managers could go down. However, there is no specific formula for allocating your wealth or for investing in the stock market. Every person and company is different, and the stock market changes constantly. People will always be running a business or a school, saving for retirement, financing a home, and investing their money. That is one of the reasons why I find finance so fascinating. Even if you aren’t making a career out of it, economic and monetary skills are vital for the rest of your life. Needless to say, finance is and always will be a diverse and ever-changing
