- Abstract
This study explores the influence of financial literacy, peer influence, and lifestyle on the saving behavior of migrant university students in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Living away from family, these students face financial challenges that require independent money management. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 100 respondents via structured questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) with SmartPLS 4. The findings show that financial literacy, peer influence, and lifestyle each have a significant positive effect on saving behavior. Students with higher financial literacy make better financial decisions, while supportive peer environments and disciplined lifestyles promote consistent saving habits. These results underscore the importance of integrating financial education into university curricula and fostering social settings that encourage responsible financial practices. By understanding these factors, universities can better support students in developing sustainable financial habits that contribute to long-term financial well-being.
