Navigating Tensions
and Aspirations
Across Generations

Understanding the tensions and motivations behind generational financial choices

This report is the second in a five-part series exploring financial mindsets in Indonesia’s Tier 1 cities. It explores how different generations (X, Y, and Z) approach money within a financial system that’s rapidly evolving, yet still deeply shaped by cultural values and family expectations. As financial access expands, the way people manage money is increasingly influenced by life stage, daily pressures, and intergenerational responsibilities.

Rising costs, housing pressure, and job insecurity are reshaping financial mindsets across the board. Gen X is navigating the demands of caregiving, Millennials are stretched between ambition and affordability, and Gen Z is stepping into adulthood with new hopes but limited room to move. Each group faces different challenges, but all are rethinking what financial stability means today.
