By delivering questionnaires and quantitative methodology. 279 respondents were collected, and the results could be processed with SmartPLS Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). This paper explores the relationship between financial inclusion, financial literacy, and the important role of financial attitudes in improving decision-making skills related to debt management. At the same time, financial inclusion and financial literacy are essential, but not enough to encourage healthy debt practices. A constructive financial attitude emerges as an important determinant, contributing to understanding and implementing prudent debt decisions women in the informal sector.
