Abstract:
This study was designed to determine the spending habits of public elementary school teachers.
Descriptive-survey and descriptive-comparative research type design were utilized through a selfdevised questionnaire which was administered to 21 teachers of the locale of the study. The results
revealed that respondents agreed that they often spend on work-related expenses such as classroom
supplies and instructional materials. Many of the respondents have formal and informal borrowings
but not all of them are regularly paying. They are seldom allotting a portion of their income for
savings. In spite of failure to pay debts regularly and low savings, respondents are still seldom
spending on leisure activities and charitable works. This study suggests that teachers should
participate in the spending wellness for them to acquire proper spending management ideas. This also
recommends that school should help teachers reduce financial distress by providing ample resources
for classroom needs of teachers.
