Abstract

In this paper, we examine the relationship between professional financial advice (PFA) and subjective well-being (SWB).

This association is stronger for households that experienced an increase in income, individuals who do not consider themselves financially knowledgeable, and individuals that have a weaker internal locus of control and have a lower degree of conscientiousness.
