Rendom data collection is from scientific articles, understanding and information from various online media. The data collected will be analyzed from the perspective of Islamic economics, which includes the principles of justice, empowerment, and financial balance. The research shows that it is a meaningful alternative for the millennial generation in dealing with the flexing phenomenon. The application of Islamic economic principles in providing a deeper understanding of economic benefits and the importance of managing finances wisely can also strengthen awareness of balanced economic benefits and have a positive impact on the financial well-being of individuals and society as a whole.
