At the time of extensive government austerity measures, uncertainty of countries' future, or even international companies, and on the other side the ever bigger influence of advertisement and consumer culture, its importance grows with each year.

Part of the theory is a survey dealing with financial literacy of Czechs that support a theory that they have considerable gaps in managing their finances. Further on, the thesis engages in possibilities on how to eliminate these gaps. Doing this, the author perceives the family, or individual, as a parallel to a company, while their finances management makes parallel to the company's accounting. It also briefly deals with why these mistakes are present, using behavioral economics as a tool for explanation. The theoretical part presents possibilities and products that are to find at a usual economy subject on the market to those willing to evaluate their finances. The practical part is looking for answer to question what the most frequent mistakes are. The author then chooses the one he considers the most significant, namely the absence of planning. It then tries to prove, that elimination of this mistake leads to considerable improvements and optimization in managing finances.

Estimation of household total risk
Frömel, Jaroslav ; Koblovský, Petr (advisor) ; Svoboda, Miroslav (referee)
The thesis focuses on estimation of household total risk exposure and factors affecting this estimation. The risk is represented with a financial loss of 20k CZK in the next month and with a financial loss of 50k CZK in the next 12 months. Nearly a half of participants in the survey (n=55) estimates the likelihood of this financial shock as being low, however the number of participants with high estimate increases for the next 12 months. The estimate of total risk exposure increases with age, for self-employed and single parents, next with income and assets, however overall wealth decreases the estimate. Significant factors are education, financial behaviour and cognitive abilities which all have a decreasing effect on the estimate. Availability is considered as significant having a positive effect while biased evaluation of risks has a negative effect. Time preferences can play an important role in the estimation of a long-term risk.
