As everyone knows, in today’s world nothing is free or cheap; one must maximize the use of budget and resources carefully. Most of the college students today confront this kind of dilemma. The purpose of this research study was to determine the budget constraint of the CBAA students in DLSU-D, to determine the allowance of a common CBAA student, and to determine how much do they spend and/or save every week. An indirect method of data collection was applied through using a set and prepared questionnaire. The results shown was the majority of the respondents have Php150-200 and Php 201-400 allowance per day and at the end of the week; they still have savings of Php 50-100.
