Financial management plays an essential role in one's life. However, many Malaysians are facing a financial crisis that involves increased household debt levels from year to year. Among the general public, working in the private sectors, government sectors and self-employed, their financial resources are reasonable but still having difficulty in financial planning. This problem is not a new issue in the life of the people in Malaysia which causes many among them to face in settling their deferred debt. Hence, research should be conducted to look at the personal financial management of the public working in Section 7, Shah Alam, Selangor. The study aims to analyze the entire personal finances among the people in Section 7, Shah Alam and examine the factors that influence them in doing financial planning.
