The purpose of this article was to determine whether overt financial education from parents during childhood (retrospective measure collected in the same survey wave) is associated with a greater frequency of healthy financial management behaviors in emerging adulthood, and whether this relationship is dependent on gender Using a sample of emerging adults from the Flourishing Families dataset (N = 437), we ran two multivariate linear regressions one with and one without the interaction variable. Results suggest that financial education from parents during childhood is linked with a greater frequency of healthy financial behaviors in emerging adulthood but was not dependent on gender Financial educators should involve parents when teaching children about money, and they should educate parents on how to teach their children about money.Note
