マネーリテラシー

• 読み: マネーリテラシー
• ローマ字: mane riterashi
• 発音: /ma.neː.ɾi.te.ɾa.ɕiː/

意味

Money literacy; the knowledge and skills needed to make informed financial decisions.

This English loanword has become a trendy way to discuss financial competence. It's used in a slightly more personal, self-improvement context compared to お金の教育 — you 'raise your マネーリテラシー' through books, YouTube, and financial advisors. The term reflects Japan's growing awareness that understanding money is a life skill, not just for finance professionals. It's heavily used in self-help and financial content marketing.
