Introduction
As stated by Miriam Caldwell (2019), another mistake that people make was by
classifying their wants as needs. When something is classified as a need, they do not consider
cutting back on it as much at first. They can also lump needs and wants into the same
category, which can make it harder. For example, food was considered a need, eating out a
want. Their necessities are needs, food, shelter, and power. Transportation within reason can
be a need depending on where you live. In addition, needs are something that the people must
have or need for survival and wants refers to something which is good to have, but not
essential for survival. That was a common mistake that people make when they are spending,
they don't classify their needs and wants. Also, students were spending their money on many
expenses but sometimes they just focus on spending their money on recreational activities.
According to Godfrey (2013), good money management skills are the process of budgeting,
saving, investing, and spending the cash usage. Though it is not something we are born with,
they are acquired over one’s lifetime through many successes and some failures as well. “An
allowance is not an entitlement or a salary. It is a tool for teaching children how to manage
money.” As cited by Caldwell (2017), allowance is an amount of money given. It is a need
for teenagers where they can save up for their wants or daily needs. Its history concerns the
development means of carrying out transactions involving a medium of exchange. Money is
any clearly identifiable object of value that is generally accepted as payment.
There is a motion that is working on teaching basic personal finances to high school
students before they graduate. A budget is clearly the key to succeeding financially. What
budgeting does is clearly show you how you allocate your money and present you the choices
on what stuff to enjoy – based on your financial limitations. It will save you the grief of
overspending and being too much in debt. Budgeting does not stop you from enjoying stuff; it
ensures that you enjoy stuff when you want it.
Although budgeting is indeed more work, it pays off with many life-enhancing
benefits: (1) Gives you control to your money; (2) Keeps you focused on your money goal;
(3) Makes you aware what is going on with your money; (4) Helps you organise your
spending and savings; (5) Makes you decide in advance how your money will work for you;
(6) Enables you to save for expected and unexpected costs; (7) Enables you to communicate
with your significant others about money; (8) Provides you with an early warning for
potential problems; (9) Helps you determine if you can take debt and how much; (10)
Enables you to produce extra money. Research conducted by Wong (2011) entitled
“Practices of saving among students” indicated that saving for retirement was students'
priority. Majority of students were aware that it is very extremely important to save for
retirement and that the age option of retirement gives students a clearer understanding of
saving at an earlier age and not saving only when they become employees. This study seeks
to know the relationship between money allowance and budgeting skills of senior high school
students. The researchers conducted this study to provide information that can benefit the
respondents and students in improving their skills about budgeting. Knowing budgeting can
be good for the students as they can be more responsible in spending their money wisely.

Local literature
According to Condino, R. V., Del Monte, A.., Rodriguez, J. and Tamon, C.-J. (2020),
Financial literacy is the education and understanding of knowing how money is made, spent,
and saved. Students should understand how money works on their hands, how to spend
money with their decision, and how to spend the money on the right things. We used
Business Finance Subjects to enhance the student’s financial literacy. The primary purpose of
conducting this study was to make Grade 12 Accountancy, Business, and Management
students financially literate. The researchers used the survey method because this is the most
applicable method to use in gathering data. The design used was descriptive design because
the researchers observed that students find it hard to budget their allowance because they
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MONEY ALLOWANCE AND BUDGETING SKILLS
spend a considerable amount on unnecessary things. The researchers also used convenience
sampling to select 50 Grade 12 students from the Accountancy, Business, and Management
Strand. The researchers also made and distributed 50 questionnaires to determine the things
that they may help the students with to be financially literate. Based on the findings of the
study, the factors influencing the financial status of the students were social media/media and
their group of friends. The students cannot manage their allowance properly because they
always hang out with their friends, buy things that they do not need, and spend a considerable
amount of money on trending products. Therefore, the study showed that Business Finance
lessons can help the students improve themselves by becoming financially literate. Spending
money with a plan, avoiding debt, learning how to save money, making decisions before
spending, controlling themselves to spend a considerable amount of money, and being wise
are the things that must be learned by the students.
According to Salonga, J.., Cahilig, A.., Endrina, J. C., Bayno, J., Ojales, L. J., Tamon,
C.-J. (2020), Following a budget planner can help the students to stop worrying about their
expenses such as food, transportation, and other school expenses. The purpose of this study is
to motivate Grade 12 ABM students to allocate their allowances the right way and share them
with the next generation. This study used the survey method to gather the needed
information. The researchers also used a descriptive research design. The respondents of the
study were 50 Grade 12 ABM Students who were selected through convenience sampling.
Based on the result of the study, using a weekly budget planner positively affected the budget
management of Grade 12 ABM students in terms of food allowances 60% of their allowances
were allocated to food and uncontrolled buying of food that was not according to their
budget, transportation allowances 20% of their allowances go to school practices and riding
expensive public vehicles, and other school expenses the mismanagement of allowances
resulted in a budget shortage. Based on the summary of the findings, the following
recommendations were made by the researchers on how Grade 12 ABM students should
allocate their allowances in terms of food allowances control what food they will buy, and
transportation allowances this study suggests applying a budget planner to have allowances
on unexpected practices, and other school expenses the students are suggested to apply
budget planner to avoid unexpected expenses.
According to Jerald (2020), The level of daily allowance provided to students has a
significant impact on their satisfaction with financial support. Students rely on this allowance
to cover their expenses and meet their basic needs. A higher daily allowance allows students
to have more financial freedom and flexibility, enabling them to better focus on their studies
and personal development. On the other hand, a lower daily allowance may lead to increased
financial stress and difficulties in managing their finances. Therefore, the satisfaction of
students with their financial support is closely tied to the level of their daily allowance.
Additionally, a student who is content with their financial aid is more self-assured, tolerant,
and less likely to experience stress due to their enhanced personal wellbeing. The results of
this study indicate that further research should be done on students who are creating their
own budgets in order to improve their abilities and raise their degree of satisfaction with
financial help.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MONEY ALLOWANCE AND BUDGETING SKILLS
Christine Joy B Bermejo Home Economics (2019), The K to 12 program cover kindergarten
and 12 years of basic education (six years of primary education, four years of Junior High School and
two years of Senior High School (SHS) to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills,
develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduations for tertiary education. As I say, under this K to 12
Program is the Senior High School. Senior High School (SHS) covers the last two years of the K to 12
program (Grades 11 and 12). This two additional years will equip learners with skills that will better
prepare them for the future whether it be employment, entrepreneurship, skills development and
higher education (college).(doncarlocavinaschool. com) In SHS, there is academic track and TVL
track. One of the Strand offered under the TVL track is Home Economics. The life of Home Economic
learners is hard because you have to budget your allowance. The average allowance of Home
Economic learners is from 100 to 150, because of this learners need to budget their allowance
wisely. Budgeting is the process of creating a plan to spend your money. It allows you to determine
in advance whether you will have enough money to do the things you need to do or would like to
do. Since budgeting allows you to create a spending plan for your money, it ensures that you will
always have enough money for the things you need and the things that are important to you.
Following a budget or spending plan will also help you out of debt if you are currently in debt
(mymoneycoach. com). This study aims to determine the strategies used by Home Economic
learners of Pavia National High School in budgeting their allowance in a week.
Moneva, Jerald & Marijune, Tuñacao. (2020), The purpose of this study is to determine the
association on the students' level of financial support satisfaction and their daily allowance. The
study used a quantitative approach-descriptive correlation using a self-made questionnaire that was
answered by the senior high school student. The questionnaire mainly indicates the different ranges
of school allowances and factors that influence the students' satisfaction. The weighted mean was
used for computing the mean of the level of financial support satisfaction that students feel towards
their daily allowance. It used the chi-square (x²) showing a significant association between students'
financial support satisfaction and school allowance. Students' financial support satisfaction depends
on the level of their daily allowance. Most of the students have the ranges forty-one to fifty pesos as
their daily allowance. With this, students are satisfied with their daily school allowances. The
students seem to have a peaceful mind in their financial life because of meeting financial obligations
with fewer debts and liabilities. A student who manages well a financial resource leads to lesser
debts and liabilities which tend to increase the level of financial support satisfaction. Furthermore, a
financial support satisfied student is more confident, tolerant and less prone to stress for having
improved individual well-being. In order to enhance budgeting skills and increased level of financial
support satisfaction, this study suggests exploring more on the students who are making debts at an
early age.
Foreign Literature
According to Ishak, Irny Suzila (2020), Budgeting helps the student to organise their
spending and saving. However, previous research reports that university students have
difficulties juggling with the cost and expenses at university. The objective of this project is
to develop a student budgeting system that enables university students to manage their money
more efficiently. For this purpose, the research has used Universiti Selangor students as a
case study. A survey had been conducted with UNISEL students to get their perceptions
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MONEY ALLOWANCE AND BUDGETING SKILLS
about the development of the budget system and to get the requirements of the student
budgeting system. Ninety-five respondents had responded to the survey. The survey had
identified functions that should be included in the system. The system had been developed
using Rational Unified Process (RUP) methodology. The system provides information about
the student achievement in reaching their target to spend within budget. The student
budgeting system is expected to help the student to plan their fund, budget effectively and
view their target saving achievement.
According to Aung, Nwe Ni, and Hla Hla Mon (2020), Budgeting habits are
important for every person. By the time students are in universities, at least they are in charge
of their own finances. How well they manage their personal budget may indicate how well
they will manage their company’s budget on the job. This study intends to analyse budgeting
habits of undergraduate students in Yangon University of Economics. The study used
descriptive and analytical methods and conducted a questionnaire survey on a sample of 375
undergraduate students. It was found that the budgeting habits of students are different based
on gender. The study also showed that the significant portions of their budget are used to
spend on shopping, eating out, mobile phone expenditures, attending training for their career
progress, travelling on short trips with their friends and transportation. It can be seen that the
majority of students lack proper budgeting habits. The study suggested that the students
should know how much they can spend and how they can improve their budgeting habits.
According to Gomez, Elvia; Zhou, Joyce; Yu, Jhun (2023), Financial literacy is
critically important because finances are such a complex and important part of adult life.
Lack of effective education is one of the root problems affecting the financial literacy of
future and current college students. Some studies have been conducted to understand the state
of financial literacy among college students. There are some recurring themes present in the
studies. Some conclude that there is a direct relationship between education and
comprehension of finances. Those who have more education have a better understanding of
terminology and thus, make
better financial decisions. Overall, three aspects of financial literacy: the financial stability of
the United States population, education, and hardships of first-generation college students can
be argued to be closely related to financial literacy of first-generation college students. Since
first-generation students face unique challenges in their college lives in general and their
financial lives in particular, we set out to explore the level of financial literacy and the
interest of these students in receiving financial education.
It is impossible to separate peoples' spending patterns from their daily lives because of
the swift evolution of the fiercely competitive global corporate environment. As a result,
decision-making has grown more difficult (Stym, 2020). Because of their exposure to
marketing initiatives, internet service providers, and electronic buying options, students are
affected by this problem (Stym, 2020). A pattern of behaviour known as terrible spending
habits involves an inability to control ongoing expenses. The social learning hypothesis
postulates people learn spending habits from their parents and other influential people
(Luelle, 2018). According to Ollau et al. (2020), a young adult's purchasing habits
significantly impact how long their financial resources will last.
Study results indicated budgeting skills have a positive relationship with accountability.
It was also established that budgeting skills have positive and statistically significant effects
on accountability of public primary schools in Kakamega County. This implies that
strengthening budgeting skills of school accounting officers will enhance their ability to
properly account for school finances resulting in actualization of the school’s strategic goals.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the research methods that will be utilised by researchers. This
includes the research design, subjects of the study, sampling technique, research instrument,
data collection procedure, and data analysis procedure.
Research Design
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MONEY ALLOWANCE AND BUDGETING SKILLS
For this study on the relationship between money allowance and budgeting skills of
ABM students in Holy Nazarene Christian School, a quantitative research design will be
utilised. This design will allow for the collection of numerical data to analyse the correlation
between variables.
The subjects of this study are the Grade 11 and Grade 12 ABM students of Holy
Nazarene Christian School, in the academic year 2023-2024. The respondents are” seventy-
six” (76) senior high school Accounting, Business, and Management (ABM) students.
Sampling Technique
We utilized total population sampling, also known as a census, to gather data from all
76 ABM students in Holy Nazarene Christian School. This technique involves including the
entire population of interest in the study. Advantages of total population sampling include a
complete representation of the population and accurate generalizations of findings. However,
it can be resource-intensive and time-consuming. To overcome challenges, you implemented
a systematic approach, such as distributing questionnaires during class hours or arranging
individual appointments with each student.
Research Instrument
The primary research instrument for data collection will be in google forms. The
google form will include Likert-scale questions to assess the respondents' opinions, attitudes,
and perceptions regarding their money allowance and budgeting skills. Open-ended questions
will also be included to gather qualitative insights.
The data collection procedure will involve sharing the Google Forms questionnaire
with the selected ABM students via email or any other suitable online platform. The
participants will be provided with clear instructions on how to access and complete the
questionnaire. They will be given a specified deadline to submit their responses
electronically. The anonymity and confidentiality of the respondents will be ensured
throughout the process.
The collected data from Google Forms will be exported to a spreadsheet format for
analysis. Descriptive statistics, such as calculating frequencies and percentages, will be used
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MONEY ALLOWANCE AND BUDGETING SKILLS
to summarise the responses. We will use the built-in data analysis features of Google Sheets
or export the data to statistical software for more advanced analysis. Inferential statistics,
such as correlation analysis, can be conducted to examine the relationship between money
allowance and budgeting skills. This analysis will help determine if there is a significant
correlation between these variables among the ABM students.
Chapter IV
In order to successfully finish this study, the data must be analysed in order to test
the hypothesis and provide responses to the study's queries. This chapter includes the results'
analysis, presentation, and interpretation. from this research. There are two stages to the
analysis and interpretation of data. The first section, which is predicated on the
questionnaire's answers, addresses a quantitative examination of the data. The second,
derived from the focus group and interview findings conversations, is a qualitative analysis.
Section
This shows the total respondents each section participated in this study, a stratum
using the Pearson-r formula. Table 4.1 shows the section data.
Table 4.1
According to Table 4.1, out of 76 ABM respondents, 24 or 31.6% are from Corinthians. 18 or
23.7% are from Galatians, 22 or 28.9% are from Numbers, and 12 or 15.8% are from Judges.
Table 4.3
Chapter V
Summary
We will summarize the findings of our research on the relationship between money
allowance and budgeting skills of ABM students in Holy Nazarene Christian School. The
research included 76 respondents, and the data gathered indicated that there is indeed a
relationship between money allowance and budgeting skills.
Conclusion
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MONEY ALLOWANCE AND BUDGETING SKILLS
Based on the data analysis and findings, it can be concluded that there is a significant
relationship between money allowance and budgeting skills among ABM students in Holy
Nazarene Christian School. The study found that students who receive higher money
allowance tend to have better budgeting skills compared to those with lower money
allowance. This suggests that the amount of money allowance received by students can have
an impact on their ability to effectively manage their finances.
Recommendation
1. Encourage parents and guardians to provide a reasonable and consistent money allowance
to their children. This can help develop their budgeting skills and financial responsibility
from an early age.
2. Incorporate financial literacy education into the curriculum. This will equip students with
the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively manage their money.
3. Conduct workshops or seminars on budgeting and personal finance for both students and
parents. This will provide them with practical strategies and techniques for budgeting and
financial planning.
4. Encourage students to track their expenses and create a budget plan. This will help them
become more aware of their spending habits and make informed financial decisions.
