The findings support the results of several previous studies and also brought up some new ideas such as the importance of Financial wellness, Financial Satisfaction, and Financial Behavior. This finding significantly contributes to the advancement of knowledge in student financial literacy. The findings will be useful for practitioners and educational institutions to improve their curriculum and assistance in order for the students to improve their capabilities and skills in managing their finances.
