The ongoing uncertainty in the global economy remains a significant concern for people worldwide, including those in Indonesia. The turmoil caused by inflation, rising interest rates, and geopolitical pressures has prompted individuals and businesses to seek more prudent ways to manage their finances. One concept that has gained considerable attention is the YONO lifestyle (You Only Need One). Challenges and Solutions in Adopting the YONO Lifestyle While the YONO lifestyle offers numerous benefits, its implementation is not without challenges. One of the most significant obstacles is the pervasive consumerism promoted by social media. Digital platforms create social pressure to constantly keep up with the latest trends. According to Dr. Rina Putri, an economic expert from the University of Indonesia, "Self-awareness and the ability to exercise restraint are essential in adopting the YONO lifestyle. We must continually ask ourselves whether an item is truly necessary or merely a fleeting desire."
