education the! could ensure higher ran$ occupations and hence, higher income. Therefore,
students ho pursue higher education have to spend their time in the universit!, hich, in turn,
$eeps them aa! from participating in the ob mar$et and having their on income. Thus,
finance is becoming a significant factor in the choice of hether to pursue universit! education
or to or$. Students often begin their universit! education ithout ever having been solel!
responsible for their on personal finances. %hile in the universit!, the students have to

The research findings indicate that hile students have ide access to financial

individual. In other ords, consumption is part of children>s and !oungsters formation and
sociali*ation, and pla!s an important role in the development of identit! and self=conception.
Therefore, there is a need to understand the financial s$ills and abilities of students, since their
financial behavior ill have an important impact on their future life and personal ell=being.
/ducational programs such as seminars, or$shops and even printed pamphlets have been
recogni*ed as tools to improve financial $noledge and enhance financial s$ills. Hoever,
$noledge about students financial s$ills and educational needs enable the polic!ma$ers and
financial planners to develop appropriate strategies and programs to enhance students financial
$noledge. /nhancing students financial s$ills ould benefit the individual, finance services
providers, universities and the nation. The specific obective of the present stud! is to assess
universit! students financial management s$ills and to determine students financial education
needs.
1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Throughout the 455:s, issues related to financial education and $noledge ere
discussed among famil! and economic educators. Most of the recent studies focused on the
financial planning of universit! students because man! of them fail to plan their e&penditure and
une&pectedl! e&perience financial problems. (niversit! students report having high debt,

serious credit card usage, and high stress, as ell as lo financial satisfaction due to the lac$ of
financial management s$ills. ?oung adults ma! be unprepared to effectivel! manage the
ps!chological costs associated ith financial problems such as increased levels of stress and
decreased levels of ell=being. Hoever, it is generall! accepted among researchers that,
financial education is the $e! to decrease financial problems, especiall! among !oung adults.
0oncerning the importance of financial education, financial education pla!s a $e! role in
financial empoerment, as education helps consumers ac7uire the s$ills, right attitudes and
relevant $noledge needed in ma$ing choices for the best of their economic, health and safet!
ellness. The research findings among universit! students in the (S reveal that, financial
pressure is the most fre7uentl! cited reason for students discontinuing their education 10hiang,

understanding that allos people to ac7uire the s$ills to deal ith ever!da! financial matters
and ma$e the right choices.
Although most studies consider financial $noledge as a basic element of financial
decision ma$ing and planning, onl! a fe focused on financial s$ills. There is a difference
beteen providing information as $noledge and the abilit! to appl! it. 'inancial $noledge
refers to financial information and literac!8 hoever, financial s$ill is the abilit! to appl! such
$noledge to ma$e financial decisions and planning. Some researchers define financial s$ills as
the abilit! to understand and manage across a range of financial conte&ts including both
predictable and unpredictable situations. Desearchers in the field of finance, that financial s$ills
and competence are based on financial $noledge and understanding, and are influenced b!
the personal attitudes in spending and saving. Therefore, financial s$ill and abilit! are needed to
plan, control, manage and resolve financial ris$s and opportunities in the future.
Desearch has shon that several factors are associated ith personal financial s$ills
and $noledge, such as income, age, education, and sociali*ation the financial s$ills are based
on three factors E 43 demographic characteristics 1age, se&, education, values and attitudes or
habits3, 93 the phase of life and immediate environment 1famil!, sociali*ation3 and F3 the macro
environment 1societ! and its social, economic and cultural settings3. Hoever, these three
factors ma! have a direct or indirect effect on ones financial s$ills and abilities. )ot man!
studies have been done on the financial behavior of Mala!sian universit! students. Masuds
19::;3 stud! on Mala!sian universit! students revealed that, the maorit! of them ere
e&periencing financial problems because of the lac$ of $noledge and management s$ills.
The stud! concluded that, the purchasing poer for the overall Mala!sian population has
increased, ith no e&ception for students. Thus, although students are an important mar$et
segment, the maorities of Mala!sian students borros mone! for their education and easil! fall
into debt because of the lac$ of financial planning for the future. Sabri 19::

impact on their financial literac!.
Although people are saving for all the time, but the! ill confuse hat is the level of
saving conduced are considered ade7uate. %hat is seen as ade7uate ma! differ hether e
have an individual perspective or a collective perspective. It must be stressed that there is
limited information about the rate at hich individual are actuall! saving, ma$ing it difficult to
establish a solid benchmar$ against hich to measure ade7uac!. In additional, saving also
limited b! the income generated. All of these ill lead to bad personal finance management
hich is mismatch the goal and the financial resource.
According to Scobie, Gibson and -e 19::;3, as have superannuation as the bac$up of
the retirement, people ould not reduce their present consumption in order to save further for
their retirement. /&isting social insurance rule also reduce the need for such saving hile
current ta& rules reduce the return on monthl! savings 1'eldstein, 45593. These reasons ill
become the encumbrance of saving.
esides that, man! people have faced the problems of debt in the orld toda!. Most
people do not $no ho much had the! spend on food, housing and entertainment ever!

Salmons 19::63 spending plan ill ma$e people able to utili*e their mone! to obtain the things
hich are most important to them. If people able to prepare their monthl! spending plan, the!
ill have a bit concept of here their mone! gone and hich is an essential element of financial
control s!stem. Thus, monthl! e&penditure can be an important variable in financial literac!
problem.
General financial $noledge is important for individual to ell manage their finance.
Hoever, it comes to a 7uestion that hether a person has general financial $noledge ill
have a higher financial literac!. Is general financial $noledge important for each individual to
understand better in finance There is a different point of vie in financial literac! beteen
business and non=business students. The findings pointed out that business students displa!
higher financial literac! level than nonbusiness students. In addition, most of the non=business
students especiall! science students are lac$ of the general financial $noledge and poor in the
techni7ue to manage their finance. Hoever it is hard to appl! the financial $noledge in the
real orlds financial transactions and activities.
Cn the other hand, a lot of people are interested in finding out hether males of females
among tertiar! students are more $noledgeable in personal finance, ell management of their
savings and e&penditures. In addition, some people ma! interest to $no that hether bo!s or
girls can get more mone! from their parents. There are some arguments stated that men are

obective of this stud! are J
To ensure that students can use the mone! from variet! of sources are used in correct

To provide guidance to here their mone! should be spent to avoid useless.
1.4 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The limitations of the stud! are characteristics of design or methodolog! that impacted or
influenced the application or interpretation of the results of our stud!. The! are the constraints

12/31
and utilit! of findings that are the result of the a!s in hich e chose to design the stud! and
the method used to establish internal and e&ternal purpose.
The first limitation of our stud! is the limitation on collecting data since e have a hard
time in collecting our data. There might be some error on the 7uestionnaires given the
participant to fill our surve!s. In addition, the surve!s might not be understood ell b! the
participants here ma$e them to simpl! anser the 7uestionnaires. 'or instance, e have
found that all of our 7uestionnaires and data are obtainable, but there ere little errors on the
7uestionnaires hich ma$e our data collection to be a little difficult.
The ne&t limitation of our stud! is the lac$ of time carr!ing out this research. Since all of
us ere bus! to classes, reports, tests, and 7ui**es e could onl! obtain the primar! data
rather that obtaining the secondar! data because of our limitation to the obstacles. ut it did not
interrupt our finding, hoever ith the guidance of our lecturer, e can manage do complete our
finding as ell.
'inall!, the other limitation to our stud! about the research is because of the loer
priorit! for carr!ing out a surve! because of competing urgent tas$. Sometime e need to do
the things that e reall! need such as e need to prepare for the upcoming tests or
assignments that e need to do so. esides that, our research might ta$e some time because
of e are lac$ of funding necessar! to carr! out a surve!. To ma$e a good research !ou have to
bu! a good sample of 7uestionnaires and ournal hich care ver! costl! to us.
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROBLEM

The primar! motivation for this stud! is to educate universit! students about the
importance of saving mone!. Through this stud!, e can see the attitude of universit! students
in managing their mone! that the! get, hether from scholarships, loans or from famil! sources.
In addition, this stud! ill enlighten the students here their mone! should be distributed. The!
should cut spending to activities that are less beneficial for them that involve mone!. 'or
e&les are shopping, travelling, eating e&pensive food and so on.
This stud! ill also be great significance to the parents, here their children can manage
the mone! as ell as possible. So, parents are no longer burdened hen their children often
as$ for mone! hen the mone! runs out. %ith an unstable econom! and rising cost of living,
students should ta$e steps to reduce their spending on universities. This can give them a
chance to save mone! in an! ban$ for their future life.

• The Influence of 'amil! Member
The second causes of student finance problems are famil! aspect. This is because
some student comes from lo income families. Student had gifted some mone! to their famil!
for help them from finance crisis. At the same time, this situation can ma$e the student cannot
manage their finance properl! because the! had to use their scholarship or education loan for
another things. Sometimes, student cant manage their finance because of a strong famil!
influence. ase on “0ollege Students and 'inancial -iterac!J %hat The! +no and %hat %e
)eed to -earn” b! 0ude . L, the influence of famil! members is important but comple&. Most
students reported hearing various messages about mone! from various famil! members. Most
of the messages students shared related to controlling spending and avoiding or using credit
isel!. In addition, man! ere ver! aare that the! and a sibling approached financial
management differentl! and anted to be different from or li$e their sibling, depending on
hether the sibling as more or less responsible. 10ude et al, 9::3.
(nli$e the research from 0ude . L et al 19::3, “the most significant influence on
students mone! management behaviors as their parents 16:.:K3. 'e students identified as
their most important influence a brothersister 14.9K3, grandparents 14.5K3, and other famil!
relative 14.9K3”. So, student should manage their finance ith using their on opinion and
a!s. It is because the! often influenced b! their famil! and not confident to ma$e on decision
about their finance”.
In this case, student ill lost focus for manage their finance because of famil!
intervention. The effect of this situation is student ill leave their finances managed b! famil!.

5.0 RECOMMENDATION
In order to maintain a health! spending habit, students are suggested to manage their spending
on the accommodation and such.
'irst of all, students can loo$ for houses ith lo rental and are located as near
as possible to their campus. Students can negotiate the rental price ith the rental agent.
Students can get their friends to settle in the house as ell. The rental can then be divided
among them instead of being paid b! an individual.
As for food, students can get their housemates or friends to pinch in and coo$
together. The! can share the spending on groceries and learn ho to coo$. Students must cut
don on ta$e=outs and deliver! because these to added to the e&penses. 'urthermore, it is
healthier for the students to coo$ meals for themselves. The! can also choose the ingredients
hich can help in boosting their memories and maintain their energ! for curricular activities.

Deference boo$s are $non to be e&pensive and not all students can afford that.
To solve the problem, students can get the e=boo$ version of the reference boo$s the! need.
esides, the! can tr! to bu! second=hand reference boo$s from their seniors hich are
positivel! loer in price compared to bu!ing from boo$stores. These prices are more relevant
for students. Hoever, if the! still cannot afford, students can opt to pa! for the boo$ b!
instalments or share the price ith another classmate.
Students are also suggested to sell their boo$s after the end of ever! semester.
This ill add up to their poc$et mone! and the! can use it later to bu! boo$s for the ne&t
semester.
Transportation is another thing the students need to consider since it involves a
big sum of mone!. It is ise for the students to choose the cheapest ride to campus. Its level of
being convenient is something that students should bear in mind too. 'or instance, public
transportation noada!s is convenient enough but students must ma$e sure that it is located
close enough from their rented house. And, that it is safe for them to move from the house to the
bus or train station.
Cn the other hand, students can opt to start car=pooling ith their housemates or
friends hos sta!ing nearb!. The most crucial part here is to have a housemate or a friend that
actuall! has a car and is going to drive to campus. Students can then divide the e&penditure of
fuel among themselves to let ease the spending on transportation. This helps the students to
commute an!here 1not ust to college3 even faster and safer.
Students can have fun, of course. Having fun cost mone! too so8 it is best to
ensure that no one over=spentP Instead of going to carnivals or concerts that is going to cost a
prett! penn!, students can go to free campus events. Students can get to $no people from and

outside their campus here. Moreover, the campus events are going to benefit them ith better
inputs hich are $noledgeable and useful for future needs.
Also, b! bringing limited cash can help them to save and avoid over=spending.

.0 CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the best a! for students to not engage ith financial problem is
for them to plan their spending 1be it monthl!, bimonthl! or even ee$l!3. Students can get help
from their advisors or counsellors hich ill provide them ith a!s to start health! spending
habit. Students can also use their smart phones to search for solutions from e&perts orldide.
Spending healthil! includes, not ust b! being careful hile spending but saving
mone! as ell. Having surplus of mone! in their ban$ accounts is ever! students dream. This is
as students might suddenl! need the mone! for emergenc! cases li$e, sudden fever or
accidents 1let it be hen riding or driving or even al$ing3 or pa!ing for 9Q4 rental house
deposit. Since it is time consuming to ait for famil! members to ban$ in the mone!, smart
students have their on savings to solve these matters.
/ven though it is important to spend healthil!, students can plan on ho to gain
mone! too. If saving mone! is not the best solution to prevent from having financial problem
perhaps gaining some more is. In order to have more, students ill have to or$ as a part=timer
or as free=lancer. ! the end of ever! month or after ever! tas$ given, students ill have e&tra
poc$et mone!. This ill add up to the alloance hich the! are receiving 1if sponsorship is
