Abstract The field of personal finance has gained research momentum since the financial crisis of 2008, however, only few comprehensive reviews have been conducted to date. This study adopts a systematic review methodology to build a knowledge structure on financial well‐being. By combining bibliometric tools and content analysis, this study aims to capture insights not provided in earlier reviews, such as key authors, important journals, active countries and organisations, highly cited articles, and the prestige of reviewed papers. After reviewing 114 financial well‐being‐related papers, the study strives to highlight the factors associated with financial well‐being, as well as the relationships and critical theories underpinning research in this field. Based on the reviewed literature, research gaps are uncovered, and future research directions are provided to expand the knowledge in the area of financial well‐being.
