Spending Habits Among The Part 4, 5 And 6 DPA Students / Nurul Faizurin Mohd Noor ... [et. al]

The objective of our study is how the students spend their money. It is also to see whether the students spend money or not. Every semester the
students will be given financial support from PTPTN, scholarship and also from their parents. We want to know how they use this money and also to identify the UiTM students’ spending pattern. When the students received a big amount of money it will make them excited. At that time, they will plan their budget properly or not. The survey has been conducted through questionnaire distributed to the respondents. We only distribute 100 questionnaires to the student in Part 4, 5 and 6, Diploma in Public Administration. The advantages of using questionnaire are we can get data and information directly from respondents. It is also fast and need a short period of time in manner of distribution. From this research, we
believe that this study will give benefits for the students. This study will help the students on how to spend their money wisely. The students will also aware the affects from overspending habits. At the same time, it can be use to assist them on how to distribute their money properly. After we conducted our own research, we found that UiTM students always face a financial problem. As recommendations, they have to plan their budget properly and wisely. When they go shopping, they should buy what are listed in their budget list. They have to allocate their money in order to make sure that they are not overspending. Then, they also must keep their money in the financial institution. This money can be used for emergency purposes. It will help them to not face any financial problem later.
