Short Abstract

For a number of decades researchers have relied on survey data to understand the current state of the financial well-being of consumers.  While surveys are successful in collecting data on the financial state of consumers, the subjective nature of survey data is not bias-free, indicated by the presence of disparities between the reported and actual behavior of respondents. Because financial behavior, and the financial behavior of young adults, is an important component of maintaining both healthy families and a healthy national economy in the future, this paper seeks to develop a survey methodology that both captures data on the financial behavior of young adults, and furthers the methodological sophistication of financial surveys.
