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.

Expanding the research population to include students from various majors and universities would enhance the generalizability of the findings. Additionally, a qualitative study could provide deeper insights into the motivations and decision-making processes behind students consumption patterns, complementing the quantitative results. Investigating the long-term effects of financial literacy interventions on students financial habits and well-being is also recommended. Finally, research could examine the role of cultural factors and family financial practices in shaping students consumption behavior and lifestyle choices, providing a more holistic understanding of the phenomenon.
