Consumer confidence in financial goals is the degree of trust expressed by consumers through the activities of setting financial goals and subsequent realization. Utilizing data from the 2018 US National Financial Capability Study, in terms of the data characteristics of the dependent variable, this study utilizes the method of ordered logistic regression to explore the roles of education and financial knowledge in consumer confidence in financial goals. Moreover, this study also performs a robustness check, which suggests unchanged results. The results indicate that both education and financial knowledge positively contribute to consumer confidence in financial goals and consumers both with higher education levels and financial knowledge will be more confident in financial goals. Thus, policymakers are recommended to provide financial support for education and focus on mechanisms of improving financial knowledge through financial education programs and financial related courses.
