What is it about?
Recent research shows inconsistent findings of the association between financial literacy and financial well-being. We test, for the first time, if non-impulsive future-oriented behavior (NIB) moderates and financial capability mediates the association between financial literacy and financial well-being. Our results convey that financial capability mediates the association between financial literacy and financial well-being. Furthermore, the positive associations of financial literacy with financial capability and financial literacy with financial well-being significantly increase for those consumers who score high on NIB.
