The study employed a quantitative survey method and gathered data from 300 digitally active respondents. The data were then analyzed using PLS-SEM. The findings reveal that both the FIRE mindset and digital financial inclusion are significant factors that determine financial stability. Also, self-concept is a direct influencing factor of financial stability.

The paper further explains that for improving financial resilience, financial literacy, digital access, and consistent financial behavior need to be combined.]]>
