ABSTRACT In the current Gen Z era, the majority of college students prefer to purchase products online rather than offline, as online purchases are more affordable than offline purchases. Given this phenomenon, researchers are interested in delving deeper into analyzing the influence of financial literacy and pocket money on consumer behavior, with lifestyle as a mediating variable, on economics education students at Universitas PGRI MPU Sindok. This study used a quantitative approach. This research was conducted in the Economics Education Study Program at Universitas PGRI MPU Sindok, with a population of 146 students in semesters 1, 3, 5, and 7. The sample size of this study was 20 students selected through proportional sampling using the Slovin formula with a 5% error rate. The data collection technique used a questionnaire. The data analysis technique used the SEM-PLS test with the help of the SmartPLS 4. software program. The results of the study were . Financial literacy has a positive and insignificant effect on consumption behavior, . Financial literacy has a positive and significant effect on lifestyle, . The amount of pocket money has a positive and insignificant effect on consumption behavior, . The amount of pocket money has a positive and significant effect on lifestyle, . Lifestyle has a positive and insignificant effect on consumption behavior, . Financial literacy has a positive and insignificant effect on consumption behavior through lifestyle, . The amount of pocket money has a positive and insignificant effect on consumption behavior through lifestyle. A limitation of this study is that there were only two independent variables used to measure students' entrepreneurial interest: financial literacy and pocket money. Therefore, future research is expected to add other independent variables not included in this study. The population used was only students majoring in Economics at Universitas PGRI MPU Sindok. Therefore, future research is expected to reach students beyond Universitas PGRI MPU Sindok. Keywords: Financial Literacy. Pocket Money. Lifestyle. Consumption Behavior INTRODUCTION The global economy is characterized by the free mobility of goods and services across countries, with the current rapid development of information and technology and its unlimited (Chuk et al. , 2022. Putri Ekanova et al. , 2022. Rahayu & Jamiat, 2021. Wahyuningtyas & Kusuma, 2. Online shopping has become a current trend because the application is very easy to use and there are many product options so it is easy to access. (Buana & Patrisia, 2021. Choirunnisa, 2021. Novitasari & Septiana, 2. Many students spend their pocket money to fulfill their lifestyle, without managing their pocket money properly, which results in excessive consumption behavior. (Adiwinata et al. , 2021. Akbar et al. , 2022. Nisak & Sulistyowati, 2. However, in fact. Indonesian society also tends to be more consumptive, this is reflected in the decline Marginal Propensity to Save (MPS) and increasing Marginal Propensity to Consumption (MPC) for the last five years (Arianti, 2021. Rustantono et al. , 2. Financial Literacy is a series of activities that increase people's understanding of finance, their ability to manage finances, and their ability to achieve financial success, with indicators of financial knowledge, financial attitude, and financial behavior. The amount of pocket money is the nominal amount of pocket money received by students from their parents for each activity on and Selolah Tinggi Ilmu Ekonomi Pemuda VOL. 6 NO. DOI: https://doi. org/10. 48024/ijgame2. off campus, with indicators of the amount of pocket money received, the amount of pocket money spent, and pocket money savings funds. Lifestyle is a combination of their financial decisions and time management, which ultimately determines how they live their lives, with indicators of activities, interests, and opinions. Consumption Behavior is an action that is directly involved in obtaining, consuming, and spending a product or service, including the need processes that precede and follow this action, with indicators of impulsive buying, waste, and pleasure seeking. Based on the researcher's observations, many of today's students face internal contradictions, ranging from lifestyles that don't align with their ethics and educational attainment, to those that conflict with their family's financial situation. However, most students continue to push themselves to be on par with those around them, who may be financially stable. Unbeknownst to them, they have entered urban society, which places a high premium on appearance. Coming from villages and remote areas of the city, they are automatically far from family supervision, allowing them to freely adapt to whatever environment they choose, without considering the potential consequences. Campuses should be places for students to gain knowledge, exchange ideas, socialize with fellow students, and so on. However, what appears to be happening is that campuses have become venues for showing off their appearance and lifestyle. Some students, even those in the middle economic class, also adopt a consumerist lifestyle due to social demands. Consequently, some students now prioritize appearance, prestige, and following their Regarding the lifestyle of students as economic actors, the right thing to do is prioritize their needs, rather than their existence within the university environment. Reasons for conducting research in Universitas PGRI MPU Sindok, because Universitas PGRI MPU Sindok is one of the higher education institutions in the city of Nganjuk which is located not far from shopping centers such as Luwes Mall. Grand Olympic Mall. Ninetynine. Ramayana Fashion Store and cafes such as Barelo Cafe and Resto. Mixue. Momoyo. Es Teh Indonesia. Kalenan Cafe and Resto Sawahan. Belikopi. Besok Lagi. Katanya Kopi. Moji Cafy Resto and Bakery. Mae Kopi. Nomad Coffee and Space. Awor Coffee Warehouse. Paddy Breeze - Fine Dinning & Specialty Coffee. Exotic Coffee & Eatery. Millenials Space Cafe & Resto. Baturan Cafy. Butter Life. Lapis Kukus Pahlawan. NettyZen Cafy. Tokomi - Gelato Kopi Mie. Panewu Coffee. Tomoro Coffee. Warungku. Kopi Soe. Kopi Kangen. Harmony Food & Coffee. Astro Cafe Eatery. Mie Djoetek. Mie Gacoan. Merdeka Cafe, and others, which are generally used as a place to hang out with friends. This is one of the factors that makes students become With a background as an economics student, the financial literacy that has been obtained is considered mature and good enough so that they can carry out economic activities. RESEARCH METHOD The research approach used in this study is a quantitative approach. A quantitative approach uses data in the form of numbers, or sentences that are converted into numerical data. This research is quantitative, which is a method for examining a particular theory by examining the relationships between variables. The specificity of quantitative research lies in the collection of numerical data. (Creswell, 2. This research uses an explanatory research method, meaning it aims to determine whether there is an influence and, if so, how significant it is. A quantitative approach is a systematic, scientific approach to phenomena, their components, and their relationships. The reason for using this explanatory research is because the researcher wants to test the proposed hypothesis and is expected to explain the relationship and influence between the independent variables on the dependent The independent variables used are financial literacy (X. and the amount of pocket money (X. , lifestyle (Z) as a mediating variable, while the dependent variable is consumption behavior (Y). The design of the relationship between the variables is as follows: DOI: https://doi. org/10. 48024/ijgame2.

Source: Data Analysis by the Author from SEM-PLS 4. 92 Test Result Data, 2025 CONCLUSION Based on the research results and discussions outlined in the previous chapter, the following conclusions can be drawn: The effect of financial literacy on consumer behavior shows that financial literacy has a positive but insignificant effect on consumer behavior. This means that if financial literacy increases, consumer behavior will decrease. Conversely, if financial literacy decreases, consumer behavior will increase. The effect of financial literacy on lifestyle shows that financial literacy has a positive and significant effect on lifestyle. This means that if financial literacy improves, lifestyle will Conversely, if financial literacy decreases, lifestyle will increase. The effect of pocket money on consumption behavior shows that the amount of pocket money has a positive but insignificant effect on consumption behavior. This means that if the amount of pocket money is increased, consumption behavior will increase. Conversely, if the amount of pocket money is decreased, consumption behavior will decrease. The effect of pocket money on lifestyle shows that the amount of pocket money has a positive and significant effect on lifestyle. This means that if the amount of pocket money is increased, lifestyle will improve. Conversely, if the amount of pocket money is decreased, lifestyle will The influence of lifestyle on consumption behavior shows that lifestyle has a positive but insignificant effect on consumption behavior. This means that if lifestyle is improved, consumption behavior will increase. Conversely, if lifestyle is lowered, consumption behavior will The influence of financial literacy on consumption behavior through lifestyle shows that there is a positive relationship between financial literacy and consumption behavior through lifestyle. Therefore, this relationship is said to be Partial Mediation. This means that by involving the mediator variable . , the financial literacy variable directly or indirectly influences the consumption behavior variable. This means that financial literacy has a positive and insignificant effect on consumption behavior through lifestyle. These results indicate that if financial literacy is increased, consumption behavior will decrease. Conversely, if financial literacy decreases, consumption behavior will increase. Meanwhile, a high lifestyle will increase consumption behavior, conversely, a low lifestyle will decrease consumption behavior. The influence of pocket money on consumption behavior mediated by lifestyle shows a positive relationship between pocket money and consumption behavior mediated by lifestyle. Therefore, this relationship is said to be Partial Mediation. This means that without involving the mediator DOI: https://doi. org/10. 48024/ijgame2. , financial literacy variables can directly influence consumption behavior These results indicate that if the amount of pocket money and lifestyle are increased, consumption behavior will increase. Conversely, if the amount of pocket money and lifestyle are decreased, consumption behavior will decrease. REFERENCES
