The fact is that many people cannot withstand the crisis caused by Covid 19 because the crisis is very different. This is proof that the Indonesian people must have financial resilience to be able to go through various changes and uncertainties that occur.

The purpose of this research is to create a map of the community in Magelang into Financial Resilience Spectrum Categories. This paper applies the concept of financial resilience to Magelang people to analyze their situation in the aftermath of COVID-19. It is based on a survey and will be analyzed as the average score for each component of financial resilience using descriptive statistics. The findings indicate that Magelang adults experienced severe or high levels of financial vulnerability raising very real concerns about financial wellbeing. These results can be used as input for the government, especially the governments in Magelang to solve financial problems and maintain the financial resilience of their citizen.
