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
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

future.

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

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

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
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.

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
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
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,

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
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
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
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
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
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

Financial Literacy
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
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
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.
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
(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.
