W artykule zaprezentowano koncepcję finansów osobistych i zarządzania nimi oraz scharakteryzowano relatywnie nowy zawód wśród profesji finansowych w Polsce – doradcę finansowego, a także ukazano związki między zarządzaniem finansami osobistymi na poziomie poszczególnych gospodarstw domowych a kreowaniem podstaw wzrostu gospodarczego w całej gospodarce oraz przeciwdziałanie problemom społecznym. Hipotezą artykułu jest stwierdzenie, że planowanie finansów osobistych zwiększa efektywność gospodarowania dostępnymi środkami finansowymi przez gospodarstwo domowe, m.in. poprzez kształtowanie nawyku oszczędzania celowego, w długim okresie prowadzi do zwiększenia bogactwa gospodarstwa domowego, zwiększa świadomość finansową – kredytową, inwestycyjną, emerytalną i ubezpieczeniową poszczególnych jego członków, co korzystnie wpływa na gospodarkę na poziomie makroekonomicznym. Wobec deficytu dostatecznej wiedzy w gospodarstwach domowych, czasu na porównywanie ofert, braku doświadczenia na rynku usług finansowych, zaangażowanie w ten proces podmiotu zewnętrznego jest ekonomicznie zasadne.
