Chapter 1
Introduction

Money has a big impact to the everyday life of every person. It also plays a big role in every

student. It is something that is typically used as a method of exchange, a yardstick for measuring

value, or a payment method (Merriam dictionary). Young children should be taught money

management skills. They need to be aware of how to create a budget and how to allocate their

resources over the course of the academic year. Every student needs to comprehend the

significance of spending and budgeting in order to not be financially dependent on their parents

in the near future. Spending, on the other hand, is the process of using money for one's wants

and needs, especially at school where many things need to be purchased in order to complete

certain tasks. Budgeting is the process of creating a plan that will determine how much money

can be spent and how it will be used to pay for expenses.

On the other hand, as they mature and learn to satisfy various academic needs, such as

transportation and projects, as well as things they wish to buy for themselves, students learn to

save their allowance. One of the practical skills that is beneficial to everyone, even them, is

budgeting. They gain a greater grasp of financial issues that will be important to them in the

future.

However, As students advance to higher levels of education, particularly in college,

managing their funds becomes incredibly challenging due to the growing duties and

opportunities. Children also have to worry about housing, food, supplies, and socializing in

Solano, Nueva Vizcaya Telefax # (078) 326 – 7458


PAASCU ACCREDITED LEVEL 1 e-mail: saintlouisschoolofsolano@yahoo.com
addition to school, books, and transportation. Given their youth and inexperience, students may

find it difficult to handle.

The most essential resource for surviving in this materialistic world is money. A sensible

individual understands its true worth. Businessmen spending their money when it is essential is

one illustration of this. The good news for them is that they also understand when to make large

investments in things they are certain will be profitable in the future. Everyone uses and saves

money in their own unique ways, regardless of their profession.

Most people nowadays cannot survive without money, and students are among them.

Students depend on money for a variety of daily needs, including food, transportation, wants,

and the majority of their educational costs. While still students and belonging to the millennial

generation, they also want to keep up with trends and buy anything they want. Children must

also pay for whatever they obtain from their stipend. As a result, they are unable to effectively

manage their everyday finances.

Therefore, students were expected to budget responsibly and to know how to allocate their

daily money. While students believe that budgeting is something they should do when they are

strapped for cash, they spend their allowance on extracurricular activities when they have it.

Students often spend their stipend on necessities for school, while some do some internet

shopping as well. Even seeing and holding money is an experience that anyone may have.

People value this to meet their daily necessities, regardless of whether it takes the shape of a

metal coin or a piece of paper. A student who utilizes money frequently should be accountable

for the amount they spend each day.

Early money saving by students is an excellent approach for them to begin managing their

own finances. Learning how to manage money responsibly from a young age is the best way for

students to help themselves and their parents reduce expenditure. There is a proverb that states,

"You have to spend money to save money," implying that in order to save money, one must risk

spending it. Similar to businesses, entrepreneurs must purchase raw materials, manufacture their

products, and then sell them in order to generate cash for their enterprises.

The majority of students only know how to budget and spend their money on the things they

desire, not how to save and plan for their necessities. Students who need to handle their money

just for crucial causes should perform this research. Students that are interested in budgeting and

spending can benefit from this research.

Background of the Study

As stated by Miriam Caldwell (2019), other mistake that people make was by classifying

their wants as needs. When something is categorized as a need, they initially do not think about

reducing it as much. It can be more difficult if they combine necessities and wants into one

category. For instance, eating out was viewed as a want rather than a necessary. Their basic

needs include food, shelter, and power. Depending on where you reside, transportation may be

required.

In addition, needs were something that the people must have or need for survival and wants

refers to something which is good to have, but not essential for survival. That was a common

mistake that the people do when they were spending, they don’t classify their needs and wants.

Also, students were spending their money on many expenses but sometimes they just focus on

spending their money on recreational activities.

According to Telegraph Co.
UK, (2007), Historical terms,
the annual Budget was
According to Telegraph Co. UK, (2007), historical terms, the annual Budget was a relatively

new invention. Its origins, however, lie in centuries of monarchs mismanaging the

country's finances. It was not until the early 18th century that a version of the annual Budget

emerged. The origins of the word Budget lie in the term "bougette"- a wallet in which

documents or money could be kept. While at first referring only to the Chancellor's annual

speech on the country's finances, the word quickly became used for any financial statement or

plan. Moreover, according to Cleverism (2019), one's planning skills are defined as their

capacity to strategically consider and effectively coordinate actions with the aid of any

resources at their disposal in order to realize certain objectives. Before starting a task, planning

essentially serves as a road map that shows us how to finish it. By making this spending plan,

individuals may predict whether they will have enough money to carry out the tasks they must

or would like to. Planning served as a manual for maintaining a daily financial plan. In addition,

as cited by George Peters (2014), making decisions should be influenced by the budget. A

budget was first and foremost a financial statement or a quantitative course of action that was

created and approved ahead of a specific time period. It includes an organization's aspirations

and objectives. Budgets are derived from past experiences and future expectations, which will

serve as a guide for decision making. Budgeting requires preparation and control, which

Solano, Nueva Vizcaya Telefax # (078) 326 – 7458


PAASCU ACCREDITED LEVEL 1 e-mail: saintlouisschoolofsolano@yahoo.com
influences decision. Standards were established from a budget through a control system to

decrease adverse variances to the nearest minimum when they actually happened.

Through budgeting, a student chooses how to allocate their funds, preferring to use it for

academic goals rather than for daily needs. Making decisions can assist kids in setting up a

budget and managing their allowance.

Godfrey (2013) that an allowance was not an entitlement or a salary. It served as a tool for

teaching financial management. Money was given as an allowance. Students needed a place

where they could save money for their wants or basic needs. Allowance also serves as a salary

that must be divided between the needs of the student and school-related expenses. In addition,

according to Miriam Caldwell (2019), One of the most important strategies for money

management was budgeting. The simplicity frequently turned off a lot of folks. budget for the

long term. They connect it with limitations, a lot of work, and headaches. They might think they

were too impoverished to budget

This study's major objective is to learn how and where respondents spend their money on a

daily basis. The primary focus of this study's budget will be on how to allocate each student's

allowances so that they can effectively use their daily, weekly, or even monthly allowances.

Budgeting will differ based on the student, of course. Budgeting will be more important,

especially if the student lives in a dorm where he is responsible for creating his own master

budget for his daily expenses.

communication, transformation, and etc. The objectives of this study is to determine the

Solano, Nueva Vizcaya Telefax # (078) 326 – 7458


PAASCU ACCREDITED LEVEL 1 e-mail: saintlouisschoolofsolano@yahoo.com
personal budgeting practices of the students. The researchers want to inform the student the

principles of budgeting.

Signifance of the Study

According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, budget is a certain amount of money that is

accessible for use based on a plan for how it will be spent, whereas an allowance is a set amount

of anything that is permitted to be used. If we combine these two terms, it would entail

following a strategy when using the money that is available. The significance of many user

perspectives, including those of students, parents, the administration, teachers or professors, and

researchers, is the main emphasis of this study.

Through this study, the students will have a deeper comprehension of budgeting as well as

knowledge of budgeting techniques and their significance.

This study was encouraging everyone to give reliable information on to budget practice.

The findings of this study sought to be beneficial to the following:

For the Students, through this study, the students will have a deeper understanding of

budgeting, and they will have a deeper knowledge about budgeting skills and its importance.

For the Parents, for them to help their young ones in term of studying budgeting

as they knew more about budgeting skill.

The Youth. To increase their awareness and consciousness of their budgeting abilities and to

support them in maintaining their budgeting skills.

Regarding the Researchers. For this reason, the study would serve as a launchpad for their

goals of learning more about the students' awareness of budgeting and its effects on their

financial capacity.

PAASCU ACCREDITED LEVEL 1 e-mail: saintlouisschoolofsolano@yahoo.com
For the Future Researchers. The concepts offered may serve as a source of information in

performing fresh research or examining the reliabilty of pevious findings that are related. This

will also act as a cross reference for them, providing background information or an overview of

budgeting abilities. The effectiveness of having a budget plan is suggested as the researchers'

research topic.

Scope and Delimitation of the Study

The socioeconomic situation of the participants in this study is not discussed. For instance,

the respondents' socioeconomic status, which ranged from below average to above average, and

their parents' income.

The research study is limited and conducted to only 30 students at Saint Louis School Senior

High Student school year 2022-2023. The respondents of the study are from the diferrent strand

of Senior High School grade 11 and 12 since they have the knowledge in budgeting. Each of the

respondents will be given a questionnaire to answer. In order to assure the manageability of the

collected data, the proponents will only provide multiple questions like, checklist, ranking and

rating question. This is used to assess and estimate the amount of money of Senior High School

students on where and how they spend their money and how they manage their finances.

The focus of this study is to

According to CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) UK, a budget is “a

financial plan created and approved ahead of time that often contains predicted revenue to be

received, costs to be paid throughout the time period, and the capital to be used to attain a

certain goal.”

In a view of Keller & Ferrara, “A budget is a plan of action to achieve stated objectives

based on predetermined series of related assumptions.” G.A. Welshstates, “A budget is a written

plan covering projected activities of a firm for a definite time period.” practical tools to make

keeping track of their spending easier in order to develop better financial habits.

Budgeting

     Budgeting was essential to everyone, especially to those students with tight means who

nevertheless need to. According to Ryerson (2014), An outline of your monthly cash inflows

and outflows is called a budget. You can identify your spending and saving tendencies and

accomplish your financial goals by using this snapshot of your assets and anticipated or

scheduled spending. The most crucial element of a financial strategy is the budget. The quantity

of money someone has less to do with their income and more to do with how well they control

their expenditure. If you want to effectively manage your finances, you must be aware of where

your money is going. Contrary to what you may have thought, budgeting is not tough,

confusing, or a drag on your happiness. Budgeting actually protects you against future financial

difficulties and a life of debt.

Alessandra Anonas (2015) argues that millennials spend their hard-earned money on non-

essentials for a variety of reasons, such as self-rewarding after a whirlwind of life events, stress

alleviation, and pleasure. Students in particular, as we all know that students still need to spend

Solano, Nueva Vizcaya Telefax # (078) 326 – 7458


PAASCU ACCREDITED LEVEL 1 e-mail: saintlouisschoolofsolano@yahoo.com
money on a variety of items when they are enrolled in school, including meals, classroom

supplies, and other necessities. Since they are not completely informed about what is happening

in their world and the items they should be purchasing, students frequently have no idea how

much money they are spending.

According to the University of Pennsylvania (2015), “The goal of good budgeting is to spend

less than you earn — and to know what you are saving for.” Learning how to budget makes

happy for the futureand spending your money helps you to know if it is only your wants

andneeds. List your goals so that you can understand why you are saving, then decide how you

will create your budget. Second, list your expenses so you can calculate how much you'll save

and create a daily schedule. Make a plan for how you'll use it third. Fourth, discuss it and decide

how you'll consume it with your pals. Finally, keep in mind that since it is your money, you

should treat yourself. In addition to providing you with a range of ways to manage and spend

your money as a student, it also gets you ready for the future. Since it prohibits you from buying

the things you want, budgeting is not fun, but it has many advantages.

     Strategic budgeting is the act of creating an overall budget that can last for more than a year.

It helps develop a comprehensive vision for the upcoming situation of an entity (Accounting

Tools, 2020). With the Budgeting Strategies, budgeting might be a leeway for people from

stress. Strategic planning is the term referred to as how an organization defines its strategy.

Strategic planning establishes broad objectives and develops a strategy to achieve them. The

budget is in sync with the strategic strategy thanks to strategic budgeting. The procedure that

enables people to manage their money properly over an extended period of time is the creation

of a long-term budget. The purpose of budgeting is to develop a plan that serves as the

foundation for a long-term vision of one's potential and position. Budgeting is essential for all

kinds of companies. Ribnick and Nathan (2019) state that the crucial role of budgeting is

translating vision into reality. Tracking and analyzing the budget can show the most profitable

area of a business and help identify areas where cost savings would have the most impact

(Poster, n.d). 

Financial Literacy

     According to [CITATION Man09 \l 1033], the ability of consumers to make financial

decisions in the short or long term that are in their best interests is typically referred to as

"financial literacy." Poor mortgages made by many Americans of modest means that contributed

to the recent catastrophe in the US and global banking institutions have been partially attributed

to low levels of financial literacy. Additionally, low or even negative rates of personal savings

are likely a result of the lack of financial awareness.

As stated by [ CITATION Fik17 \l 1033] Financial literacy is considered a very useful tool

for seeing how people deal with financial problems. People are better able to handle financial

issues if they have confidence in their financial literacy. Governments take into account the

financial literacy of their citizenry when formulating policies and addressing the financial

difficulties facing society. Data on financial literacy from different countries can also be used to

make comparisons. If these nations' financial literacy levels are equivalent, then different

countries can share knowledge. Furthermore, the level of financial literacy can be used as a

benchmark to rank countries in ascending or descending order. Governments can enhance

retirement planning by evaluating their constituents' financial literacy.

According to a study by Lusardi and Mitchell, many households lack even the most

fundamental understanding of economic principles that are necessary to make decisions about

saving and investing. Young and old people in the United States and other nations appear to be

hopelessly uninformed about basic financial principles, with major implications for saving,

retirement planning, mortgages, and other decisions. Such financial illiteracy is pervasive.

Governments and a number of charity organizations have responded by launching projects to

improve financial literacy.

According to [CITATION GUL17 l 1033], the idea and meaning of financial literacy are

frequently debated by academics. In academic writing and the media, terms like financial

literacy, financial education, and financial knowledge are frequently used interchangeably.

Accordingly, Kozina and Ponikvar (2015) defined financial literacy as the elements of human

capital used in financial activities to enhance a person's financial well-being. On the other hand,

financial literacy is the fundamental ability and information required for people to survive in

contemporary society, according to Mahdzan and Tabani (2013). In addition, Krachowska

(2015) asserts that the definitions of financial literacy encompass the capacity for securing one's

own income, the capacity for cost decision-making, the understanding of the effects of one's

current and personal choices on one's present and future earnings, and the capacity for job

market orientation.
