Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM).

However, both generations have demonstrated a strong understanding of financial concepts, but this knowledge does not always translate into effective financial preparedness, especially in managing debt and planning for long-term security.

Moreover, income usage significantly impacts digital engagement, with high levels of digital tool usage presenting both opportunities and challenges in managing finances. The study concludes that tailored financial literacy programs are essential to address the unique needs of Millennials and Generation Z, particularly in the context of their digital engagement.

These strategies are crucial for ensuring that younger generations are better prepared for financial stability in an increasingly digital world.
