This study aims to realize an analysis of the students' attitude toward money. We want to reveal some of the factors that influence their attitude toward money, and also to see if there are differences between males and females regarding this issue. We also aim to discover some of the tendencies that dominate on students' attitude toward money. The information needed to realize this analysis was collected by interviewing 150 students, in a university in Korca, Albania. The students were selected casually. From the information collected we discovered that there was in general a tendency of the students to spend money for important things, or to fulfill most important needs and not misuse money. The study also revealed that this attitude was in general the same for both male and female students. Their attitude toward money was also similar between students with
different levels of incomes. In general the study showed that students were conscious that to earn money they should work. This may be related with the fact that the most part of them were not employed and really appreciated their parents' financial support.
