Besides that, I also discuss the factors that influence the decision making to invest that comes from various variables. Those variables which also known as independent variable includes age, gender, knowledge, level of income, and family size. From the findings, it can be concluded that the majority of the respondents at Pejabat Agama Daerah Segamat do have an intention and interested to make an investment.
