Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of financial literacy (knowledge), financial experience, locus of control, gender and family members towards financial behavior. Although study in financial behavior mayvary, the number of studies that investigate the relationship between financial behavior and family member variable is limited. Research data were collected by interviewing head of family in Purwokerto, Indonesia. The results revealed that financial knowledge, financial experience, and locus of control partially have a positive influence on financial behavior. This study was unable to provide empirical evidence of the effect of gender and the number of family members on financial behavior.
