Abstract

Fresh graduates face a crucial period of financial transition when entering the workforce. Often unprepared for the responsibilities that accompany financial independence, many struggle with debt, budgeting, and savings. This paper provides evidence of the young generation nowadays exposed to bankruptcy. This paper also explores common financial behaviors, challenges, and management strategies relevant to young professionals beginning their careers. It emphasizes the importance of early financial literacy, proposes effective personal finance techniques, and outlines the potential role of institutions in supporting young adults’ financial well-being. Recommendations include comprehensive budgeting practices, debt management, emergency savings, and educational interventions to build long-term financial stability.
