<![CDATA[This study is motivated by the low level of financial literacy in society and the tendency toward a consumptive lifestyle, which leads to less optimal financial management. This research uses the Theory of Planned Behavior as the theoretical framework to explain community financial behavior. The research method employed is a quantitative approach with a descriptive research design. Data were collected through questionnaires using a Likert scale from 87 respondents. Instrument testing included validity and reliability tests, followed by converting ordinal data into interval data using the Method of Successive Intervals (MSI), and normality testing. Data analysis was conducted using path analysis to determine the partial and simultaneous effects among variables. The results show that partially, financial literacy (X1) has a positive and significant effect on financial management (Y) with a path coefficient of 0.106 and a t-value of 1.735 > 1.663. Lifestyle (X2) also has a positive and significant effect with a path coefficient of 0.821 and a t-value of 13.443 > 1.663. Simultaneously, financial literacy and lifestyle have a significant effect on financial management with an F-value of 92.043 > 3.11. This study concludes that improving financial literacy and controlling lifestyle can significantly enhance the quality of community financial management in a more effective and sustainable manner.]]>
