In 1990, the Journal of Financial Counseling and Planning (JFCP) was established. The journal publishes academic research on consumer financial decision-making, financial education, counseling, and planning. This article reviews the journal's contents published during the period 1990–2022. It analyzes JFCP's publication trends, citation statistics, significant themes, authors' collaborations, keywords, and contributions to the literature of consumer finance. Most studies employed Life Cycle Hypothesis and Expected Utility Theory. JFCP publishes mostly US-based quantitative empirical studies. JFCP's eight knowledge themes are credit card behavior; financial literacy and financial behavior; financial risk tolerance; financial education, and financial behavior; financial distress and financial self-efficacy; financial well-being; workplace financial education and financial help-seeking behavior, and JFCP's retrospection. Among JFCP's articles, the most used keywords selected by authors are "survey of consumer finances" and "financial literacy." This study also describes the author, country, and concept networks.
