Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to analyze the attitude of the young generation from the Visegrad Group countries towards money. Money is one of the elements economic awareness is comprised of. The possession and spending of money usually entails very particular behaviors and emotions, which in itself is a valid reason to research this area of economic awareness. In this part of the volume we will work to verify the hypothesis presented in the part “Theoretical and methodological basis of the research”:1. We assume that young people have an ambivalent attitude to money. On the one hand, they think there are more important things than wealth, and on the other hand, they attach considerable importance to money; they need it to have a pleasant leisure time. They acknowledge, however, that there is a purpose in saving.
