    Abstract
    The working young in urban India exhibit inferior financial knowledge, inferior financial attitude, and superior financial behavior compared to their counterparts elsewhere. While both men and women require intervention to enhance their financial knowledge, focused intervention is needed to improve the financial attitude of men and the financial behavior of women. Living in a joint family impacts financial literacy negatively and consultative decision-making in families impacts it positively. The influence of these key aspects of Indian family life indicates the need to involve family members in financial literacy programs to improve financial decision making of families.
