Directors of the Federal University of Campina Grande - PB. Therefore this research it is a
quantitative study, with descriptive procedure, developed with academic course of Directors of
UFCG campus Sousa - PB. The sample included 131 Administration undergraduate students,
representing 66.16% of the population (students enrolled in semester 2015.2). The instrument for
data collection used was a structured questionnaire. The results showed that young people have
problems in managing your monthly budget, with higher expenses than your income, debts late,
especially in relation to credit card. Moreover, it was observed that even with the practice to save
their resources with applications in savings still find scholars with debt problems. Similarly, it
was observed that the main reason given for the accumulation of debt is financial disorganization
