Understanding factors that support consumer financial well-being can help practitioners and policymakers empower more families to lead better financial lives to serve their own goals.
A person’s financial well-being comes from their sense of financial security and freedom of choice—both in the present and when considering the future. We measured it using our 10-item Financial Well-Being Scale.
The survey dataset includes respondents’ scores on that scale, as well as measures of individual and household characteristics that research suggests may influence adults’ financial well-being.
Variables relating to question in this dataset include Income and employment, Savings and safety nets, Past financial experiences, and Financial behaviors, skills, and attitudes.
For reference on specific fields, a codebook is available online here.
This survey was originally conducted by the US Consumer Finance Protection Bureau and published online in October 2017 here.
