Summary:The competence of financial self-management is a precondition for the success in life. The current paper is a research on the knowledge of Tallinn University home economics and handicraft students about drafting personal budget, spending study loans, purposed planning and running a household, comparing prices and quality of goods, cutting down water and energy costs, and waste treatment. It became apparent that their awareness of household management is inadequate. According to the research results, the authors suggest ways how to modernise teaching of home economics in general education schools in Estonia with the help of problem, project and web-based study, individual and group work tasks. They also analyse the practicality of field visits and didactic games, and the potential of outdoor learning in treatment of various topics. Home economics is one of the most suitable school subjects for teaching competence of financial self- management as it combines theoretical knowledge with everyday life needs.
