“…Behavior in the financial sector combines elements of managing cash flows, debts, saving funds, and investing in assets financial behavior has been shown to have the most impact on financial literacy levels (Rai et al 2019). Financial behaviors give insight into financial decisions on a managerial level, individual level, or development of investment strategies (Gerth et al 2021).

“…Inventors use intuition, expertise, or experience to make decisions. Investors tend to feel their decisions are precise and correct without considering other considerations, or they are overconfident (Gerth et al, 2021).
