As to the findings of the study, the respondents‟ social support yielded a positive description but not for instrumental. The respondents were not financially literate; however, the level of financial literacy as regard savings is notable in agreement. Further, a significant relationship was noted between the financial literacy and the moderating variables on type of school, mothers'‟ highest educational attainment, and mothers‟ occupation. A significant relationship was also noted on the respondent's‟ social support on emotional, instrumental, informational and appraisal, and the financial literacy components; thus, it led to the rejection of the null hypotheses. Financial literacy is important for teachers, parents and community to be oriented on these matters as it contributes to the financial well-being of the learners.
