THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
This research study is based to Kerlinger (1997), individual spending planning is necessary
to understand society to achieve the ultimate goal of improving the overall quality of their lives.
However, spending patterns are primarily influenced by the individual's awareness of the
importance of financial management. A wise spending pattern is when a person puts his needs
first before fulfilling his wishes or desires (Ismail Ab. Wahab et al., 2008).
Another theory by (Hairunniza et al., 2015), every student realizes that should be wise in
their spending planning and financial management. The self-needs of a student are constantly
increasing, and there are no limits. On the other hand, the income or allowance received does
not always increase. However, a comfortable life can still be enjoyed if each student is wise to
spend through proper financial management and expenses through what has been planned.
Usually, many people feel that they need financial management and planning. However, the
lack of information and knowledge about management and financial planning undermines its
importance and has been ignored. Awareness of the significance of financial planning and the
importance of saving money management should be nurtured so that every student can plan
their expenses well.
