After developing a literature review, we analyze the most important aspects of the terminology and propose an integral definition of the financial literacy concept. The final goal of this paper is to develop a comprehensive scale to measure financial literacy as defined by the authors according to the evolution of the concept, taking into account related scales to money management found in the literature, and applicable to a wide range of people. The authors develop a structural equation modeling to relate unobserved constructs to observed variables and validate the scale with a divergent and convergent analysis. La educación financiera y la forma de administrar el dinero son aspectos fundamentales del crecimiento económico. Después de desarrollar una revisión de la literatura, analizamos los aspectos más importantes de la terminología y proponemos una definición integral del concepto de educación financiera. El objetivo final de este trabajo es desarrollar una escala integral para medir la educación financiera según la definición de los autores de acuerdo con la evolución del concepto, tomando en cuenta escalas relacionadas con la administración del dinero que se encuentran en la literatura, y aplicable a una amplia gama de personas. Se desarrolló un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales para relacionar constructos no observados con variables observadas, la escala fue validada mediante análisis divergente y convergente.
