In order to overcome the financial difficulties of higher education, budgeting is essential for college students in Malaysia. This study focuses on financial attitudes, financial literacy, money-related attitudes, and peer influence as it explores the factors influencing the budgeting practices of Malaysian college students. We use Behavioural Finance Theory to identify cognitive biases that influence financial decision-making.
