Abstract

This study investigates the influence of financial literacy, e-money usage, consumptive lifestyle, and financial distress on financial management behavior, with mental accounting as a moderating variable. The research was motivated by the growing challenges faced by individuals in managing personal finances amidst digitalization and increased consumption patterns.

The results reveal that financial literacy, e-money, and consumptive lifestyle have a significant positive effect on financial management behavior, while financial distress shows no significant influence.

These findings highlight the importance of improving financial knowledge and self-regulation in the digital economy era. The study provides both theoretical contributions and practical implications for enhancing financial behavior
