Human development, which is an integral part of a country's financial cycle, would not be ideal without being supported by a high quality of life. Research on personal satisfaction has evolved long before the World Health Organization proposed the concept. This study aims to examine the comparative picture of post-COVID-19 frugal lifestyles on the inclusive economic development index in Bekasi and Karawang, two of the largest industrial cities in Indonesia. One of the methods used in this article is an illustrative quantitative methodology (Subagyo, 2017). According to the research findings, the inclusive economic development index (IPE) in Karawang and Bekasi has been increasing year by year. In 2023, the IPE in Karawang reached 69.2, while the IPE in Bekasi reached 69.9.
