The results of this study indicate that financial literacy has a positive effect on financial behavior, financial literacy has a positive impact on financial security, self-control does not have a positive effect on financial behavior, self-control does not influence financial security, financial behavior has a positive impact on financial security, financial behavior does not mediate the positive influence of financial literacy on financial security, and financial behavior does not mediate the positive influence of self-control on financial security.
