Abstract

Humans are associated with varied decision-making skills in their daily lives. These involve a range of metacognitive abilities that primarily focus on being aware consciously or unconsciously while engaging in a particular action. In a given societal condition, finance plays a crucial role in understanding socio-economic and emotional factors. The article aims to understand the fundamental aspects of decision-making skills across adulthood within the crossroads of understanding the elements of finance, cognitive abilities, behavioral responses, and beliefs while executing an action. Lastly, the article is an ongoing thesis and will be continuing with research which will eventually be supported by data collection, thus helping us understand human behavioral system.
