Using a sample of 266 observations of adults in 2 big cities in Vietnam (Hanoi and Vinh in Nghe An Province), the author evaluates the literacy level of adults in these urban areas. The financial literacy of the interviewed people is low. The multiple regression results show that lower financial literacy levels associate with higher age and married status and higher financial literacy levels associate with higher education, more family members, the person making financial decisions and the person attending a useful financial course. This research also explores the association between financial literacy and financial behaviors of individuals employing logistic models. It is found that higher financial literacy associates with less probability of overspending and higher probability of saving money and careful pending. Higher financial literacy is also found to associate with higher probability of opening a savings account and making various investments. 2017-08-07T08:03:54Z 2017-08-07T08:03:54Z 2017 Article 2588-1108 http://repository.vnu.edu.vn/handle/VNU_123/55631 en Vol. 33;No. 2 (2017) application/pdf H. : ĐHQGHN
