 Financial literacy refers to the ability to effectively manage various financial skills, such as personal finance management, budgeting, and investing. It forms the foundation of an individual's relationship with money, influencing their ability to make sound financial decisions. Experts often emphasize that financial education is a lifelong process, and it's beneficial to start learning about finances as early as possible.

Fixed Costs: Regular expenses like rent and salaries that don’t change much each month.
