INTRODUCTION

One of the challenges that every student encounter is to manage

the money that their parents provided for them. Many students are having difficulties in

terms of budgeting their allowances because of their different expense in schools. With

the help of money as one of the main necessity plays a significant role in every student

to survive Senior High School (Babbie,)

Daily allowance is the amount of money that a student is entitled to on a daily basis. It

is one of the resources for buying the needs of each student. Most of the student gets

their allowance from their parents and parents’ money earned as salary from their work.

Higher family income may have a good contribution in academic performance, but for

the responsible and serious students, low family income must not be an excuse for poor

performance (Adzido, Dzogbede, Ahiare, Dorkpah, 2016). Bhat, Joshi, Wani (2016)

supported the latter claim that socioeconomic status is the significant factor in academic

achievement. Thus, the higher level of socioeconomic status shows a big contribution

toward the quality of student achievement (Farooq, Chaudry, Shafiq and Berhanu,

2011).

Academic achievement carry out primary significance in the context of an education

system, intend a successful scholastic achievement of the students and human

resources improvement at the high level. In addition, adolescents having high and

middle socioeconomic status excel in academic performance than adolescents having

low socioeconomic status (Singh and Choudhary, 2015). Socioeconomic status of the
students haveam impact to their academic achievement. Students having a high

socioeconomic status have a good exposure and surroundings giving a good result as

compared to low socioeconomic status (Chandra and Azzimudin, 2013).

Due to factors that can affect budgeting, there exists a difference on planning a budget.

The manner in which high school students manage their money is based on several

factors such as age, personality, traits, and knowledge (Gordon, 2010).

BACKGROUND OF STUDY

According to the Department of Education,the continuous increase of the students

which is out of school and those which doesn’t like school .In addition, schools with

lower socioeconomic status are associated with positive impacts on the university

academic performance, but that the magnitude is minimal students from lower

socioeconomic status schools have been found to perform marginally better than there

fromsocioeconomic status schools (Li & Dockery, 2014). Caro (2009) identified

socioeconomic statusas a student transition from elementary and secondary education

level differs between low socioeconomic status. Lastly, Adzido, (Dzogbede, Ahiave, and

Dorkpah, 2016) stated that even though family with higher socioeconomic status may

help improve students’ performance, being in low socioeconomic status is not an

excuse for poorperformance.
