I agree with you, although i do not think spending is the problem, it is what we are spending on. Financial literacy entails one having the discipline to follow through the set budget. Also by prioritizing our needs and scrutinizing our wants in order of necessity.
Financial literacy also involves many other things as well. For example, having good knowledge about financial instruments and proper utilisation of those instruments also counts as a form of knowledge a person has. Usually, bankers have a lots of knowledge related to such instruments.
