Abstract
We investigated whether fluctuations in cognitive performance (intraindividual variability) impact financial management skills across two samples (N=232). Results showed that greater variability was associated with poorer financial management across multiple measures. Findings suggest that cognitive instability may interfere with daily financial tasks, emphasizing its importance in understanding everyday functioning.
