It’s now not just about earning and saving plenty of money; Gen Zs are women rethinking their relationship with money altogether. From not being mindful about where to invest to being financially literate, Gen Z women are working towards building a sustainable, long-term and fool-proof contract with their money. If you want to become a higher version of yourself in 2026, you need to get in control of your finances. Let’s dive into the top five rich girl habits that you need to follow to level up financially here!

5 Rich Girl Habits To Level Up Financially

With Gen Zs stepping into the corporate world, they have quickly realised that having a good relationship with money is a non-negotiable. If you are trying to find better ways to handle your finances, start following these rich girl habits to level up financially this year!

1. Invest In Yourself For The Long Haul

The one person you will never regret investing in is yourself. Gen Zs have earned a reputation for being fast spenders from their parents, but that has changed over the past couple of years. They are now ditching spending first and saving what’s left. You can set up a SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) for the day your salary hits to ensure that you treat your future self as your most important bill.

2. Upskilling > Upgrading

Rather than upgrading phone models, invest in upgrading your skills. Whether its is a certification course or a workshop, you need to develop your skills to become an improved version of yourself. This is essential because your ‘Human Capital’ is the most valuable asset that you need to grow. You could even learn more life skills to secure your future.

3. Fast Fashion Is Out, Timeless Trends Are In

Instead of being tempted by every new trend and product on your explore page, start investing in timeless things. These high-quality pieces will last you till you grow older and have you looking fabulous. You can even try calculating the ‘Cost Per Wear’ of the item you want to hit checkout with. 

4. Monthly Budgets Are Cool

You work hard for your salary, and you should spend that money with care. Decide on a day and every month, clear your evenings and set up your monthly budget. This should include your groceries, shopping, savings, transportation, takeout foods, hangouts with friends and other miscellaneous things you tend to spend on.

5. Have A ‘Screw-You’ Fund For Emergencies

Life is extremely unpredictable, but for whatever life throws at you, being prepared beforehand always gives you the upper hand. Being financial independence often equals to you having personal freedom in our society. You should start maintaining an emergency fund covering over six months of expenses in a separate account. This ‘Freedom Fund’ will be your knight in shining armour that will ensure you never have to stay in a toxic job or situation because you’re ‘broke’.
