The results of the study show that: 1) financial knowledge does not significantly affect saving behavior and this is proven by p-value 0,348 ≥significant 0,05. 2) Financial attitude does not significantly affect saving behavior and this is proven by a p-value 0,225 ≥0,05. 3) pocket money has a significant impact on interest-bearing pocket money and this is demonstrated by p-value0,001 ≤0,01and Path Coefficient 0,754. 4) Self-control as moderating does not have a significant impact on saving behavior and this is proven by a p-value 0,148 ≥0,05. 5) Self-control is unable to modify the impact of financial knowledge on saving behavior and this is demonstrated by p-value 0 results, 0,207 ≥0,05. 6) Self-control can modernize financial attitude with saving behavior and this is proven by p-value 0,023 ≤ 0,05. 7) Self-control can modify the effect of pocket money on saving behavior and this is demonstrated by a p-value 0,047 ≤ 0,05.
