Modern life skills demand learners to master not only cognitive aspects, but also practical skills relevant to real life, such as financial literacy. Financial literacy, as part of essential life skills, can be integrated into Indonesian language learning in Vocational High Schools (SMK) contextually and applicatively. This study aims to describe the opportunities for integrating financial literacy in Indonesian language learning in vocational schools. The method used is qualitative descriptive, with the research subjects consisting of teachers and students at SMK PPI and SMK AKP located in Cianjur Regency. Data collection techniques were carried out through the analysis of curriculum documents, questionnaire distribution, interviews, and focus group discussions (FGDs). The results of the study show that financial literacy has great potential to be integrated into Indonesian language learning, especially through the selection of reading materials, discussions of financial management topics, and contextual problem-solving-based literacy projects. This integration not only enriches the learning content, but also fosters financial awareness, critical thinking skills, and students' readiness to face various financial decisions in real life. Thus, the integration of financial literacy can be a strategic innovation in strengthening life skills through Indonesian language learning.
