Budgeting behavior is a fundamental aspect of personal financial management, shaping an individual’s capacity to achieve financial stability and plan for long-term needs. It involves the strategic allocation of resources, expense tracking, and the adoption of sustainable financial practices that mitigate economic vulnerability. Among civil servants, who often rely on fixed incomes, effective budgeting is particularly vital to ensure that immediate expenses are met while preserving funds for future needs such as retirement. Conversely, inadequate budgeting can compromise financial security, leaving individuals exposed to economic challenges and long-term financial insufficiency. This study underscores the significance of budgeting behavior in promoting financial resilience and retirement preparedness among government employees.
