spending among University students. Three hundred (144 males and 156 females) participants were used for the study. Their ages ranged between 20-30 years with mean age of 26.07. Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale, Index of Peer Relations and Extravagant Life Assessment Scale were three
instruments used for the study. A Two Way ANOVA statistics was used in analyzing the data. The study showed no significant difference between the two polars peer relations on extravagant Life style, while significant difference
