SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
LEVEL OF EDUCATION
People can learn on how to manage personnel financial with the financial education (Vitt, L. a., Kent, J.Lyter, D.M., Siegenthaler, J.K., & Ward, J., 2000). Moore, Danna (2003) and Hogarth, J.M, & Hilgert M. A. (2002) also state that the quality of education tend to people to have better financial literacy.
COURSE TAKEN
Those who took a financial management in high school tend to save a higher proportion of their incomes than others (Berhnheim, B.Douglas, Daniel M. Garrett & Dean M. Makki, 2001)
YEAR OF STUDIES
According to Jamie Wagner-William Walstad (2018), a people will change in long-term period in financial behavior because there is more opportunity to learn about financial literacy. The differences should be especially great for adults who are 65 or more years old because they have more life experience in managing their personal finance (Mandel 2018)
SPENDING BEHAVIOUR
Sohn, Joo, Grable, Lee & Kim (2012) state that behavior towards money will influence the spending. It is same with Hong (2016) that said positive behavior will influence good spending. Clarke (2005) say that people will learn about financial mostly from family and it will influence their behavior.
