Abstract
This study investigates the influence of minimalism on happiness by examining the mediating role of financial well-being. The research is motivated by the increasing prevalence of consumerism in the digital era and the rise of minimalism as a counter-lifestyle that promotes simplicity, intentional consumption, and disciplined financial behavior. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to 385 respondents from Generation Y and Generation Z. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results indicate that minimalism has a significant positive effect on financial well-being and happiness. Financial well-being is also found to significantly predict happiness and mediate the relationship between minimalism and happiness, suggesting that minimalist practices enhance emotional clarity while simultaneously strengthening financial security. These findings expand the theoretical understanding of lifestyle behaviors and their impact on subjective well-being, highlighting financial well-being as a crucial mechanism through which minimalism contributes to happiness. Practically, this study provides insights for individuals, educators, and policymakers to encourage simple living and financially responsible behavior as effective strategies for improving overall quality of life.
