Abstract

Personal financial planning is becoming increasingly important as people become more aware of the need for effective financial management to achieve financial stability and prepare for a better future. This study examines the influence of love of money, Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), and self-control on Generation Z’s personal financial planning, with financial literacy serving as a moderating variable. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through a structured questionnaire. The study involved 100 Generation Z respondents selected using the Slovin formula. Data were analyzed using SmartPLS 3.0 with path analysis. The findings indicate that love of money, FoMO, and self-control each have a positive influence on personal financial planning. In addition, financial literacy significantly moderates the relationships between love of money and personal financial planning, FoMO and personal financial planning, and self-control and personal financial planning. Based on these results, it is recommended that Generation Z strengthen their financial literacy and develop personal financial plans regularly to support more focused and effective financial management.
