The lack of financial literacy especially in budgeting among citizens in Malaysia is alarming. Poor financial literacy could lead to overspending and overuse of credit cards. In the worst cases, this could lead to bankruptcy. According to New Strait Times, the Insolvency Department reported approximately 84,805 Malaysians were declared bankrupt in 2015 to 2019 which accounts for 26% of the bankruptcy cases involved among people under the age of 34. Furthermore, Bank Negara Malaysia reported that in 2019, 47% among Malaysian youngsters already have credit card debt. The inability to pay off credit card, installment purchases debt and personal loan are most bankruptcy cases. This is worrying, since it shows that the younger generation of Malaysians still do not have high financial awareness.
