brain is too tired to manage my finances.) The attention of the students: “daghan
palitunon, dili maapas sa akong kwarta. – as translated by the researcher (my needs
cannot meet my finances) As noticed much should be done in limited time. One
participant said “daghan buhatunon kay working student man ko, nagatipid jud ko para
mabahin nako ang akong kwarta sa pag eskwela og palitonon”. (As a working student, I

According to Opoku, (2015), financial literacy has become one of the most concerned
issues in the developed countries in recent years especially after the economic crisis of
2008 since the effects of personal finance are significant to societies. Prior to the
economic crisis of 2008, studies on financial literacy were scarce in academic journals,
but governments of many developed countries however gave the needed attention to
the issue of financial literacy after the crisis. For instance, there was an advisory
committee on personal finance which was put in place to encourage financial literacy
awareness among Americans after the economic crisis. The idea of personal finance
has been described in the literature as the awareness and use of financial knowledge in
our day to day economic activities. It is therefore the application of financial knowledge
and terminologies by individuals in order to make a rational decision. Many academic
researchers in the field of personal finance have chosen to define the concept as “the
ability to make informed and efficient judgment regarding the use and management of
money (Schagen and lines, 1996).
