Abstract
Abstract: This activity is a community service that aims to improve financial and digital literacy among Gen Z. Currently, Gen Z, especially students, face challenges in personal financial management, such as a consumptive lifestyle, minimal savings habits, and a lack of understanding of the knowledge of using digital space wisely. Low levels of financial and digital literacy carry the potential to cause future financial problems and other adverse consequences. With an educational approach that is more interactive, creative, and in line with the character of Gen Z. This activity presents basic financial material in an interesting and easy-to-understand form as well as how to interact and use digital space. The program targets students at Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Polytechnic, equipping them with the financial and digital literacy skills necessary for the digital era. Beyond increasing participants' knowledge, the initiative seeks to foster wiser financial habits and social media usage, while cultivating agents of change capable of disseminating financial and digital literacy values within their communities.
