The objective of this study is to explore whether trends in data that suggest social relationships are related to financial planning behaviors. I draw from social capital theory to define the relationships and resources analyzed. Social capital theory is most effective in producing information channels and knowledge exchanges that may influence individuals to practice certain normative financial behaviors. The financial behaviors analyzed as outcome measures are topics set forth by the Certified Financial Planner Board as comprehensive financial planning topical areas.

For this study, I use the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79) and National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 Young Adult (NLSY79YA) surveys. I analyze data on Black, Hispanic, and White males in 2008, 2010, and 2012 for the NLSY79 and in 2006, 2008, and 2012 for the NLSY79 Young Adult survey. Due to limitations of the social capital and financial outcome variables available in the surveys, I primarily use multiple years of cross-sectional data to explore and analyze the relationships between social capital and financial planning.
