Abstract: This study examines the impact of cultural dimensions—collectivism, individualism, and uncertainty avoidance—on personal financial planning (PFP) behaviors among 200 respondents from Rajasthan, India, across Ajmer, Bikaner, and Jaipur.

Urban Jaipur shows higher individualism and stock investment (M=3.5) compared to Bikaner’s traditional context (M=2.9, F(2,197)=5.8, p=0.003). Gender disparities are evident, with males exhibiting greater investment engagement (t(198)=2.9, p=0.004). Digital tool usage is prominent in Jaipur (M=4.0, F(2,197)=10.2, p
