With the theme "Financial Serenity for Generation Z - From Survival to Abundance," the series of workshops was successfully held at the International University (October 12), the University of Economics and Law (October 13), and the Ho Chi Minh City National University Dormitory (October 19), attracting over 1,000 students participating in person and 3,500 students participating online. This event was the result of a collaboration between the Ho Chi Minh City Student Union, the Ho Chi Minh City National University Youth Union Committee, and the support of Home Credit Vietnam.

At each workshop, experts answered students' questions about how to create a personal financial plan, build a stable income stream, and spend wisely. Real-life stories helped young people become more confident in managing their finances.

Another topic that sparked heated discussion was financial management difficulties. According to experts, many Gen Z students struggle because they lack planning and prioritizing their spending. To achieve personal financial independence, experts suggest that students focus on overcoming the "survival" phase and begin saving.

At the same time, each person needs to build intangible assets such as knowledge, skills, and networks. As graduation approaches, creating a specific financial plan is a necessary step in preparing for the future.

Mr. Vo Kim Long, Head of Loan Products and Value-Added Services at Home Credit Vietnam - a partner in the program, believes that disseminating financial literacy to students is essential to help them understand and use financial products effectively; thereby, helping to build a sustainable financial foundation for individuals and contributing to the development of a healthy consumer finance market. Financial institutions play a crucial role in providing information and support to young customers in this process.
