updates: The study found that 58% of Generation Z and 49% of millennials believe that their personal financial situation will improve in 2024, compared to only 33% of Gen Xers and 20% of baby boomers who share this sentiment. Millennials and Gen Z in the United States are admitting to having 'money dysmorphia' - a feeling of insecurity around their financial situation even when the true picture reveals little cause for concern. Millennials and Gen Z are also experiencing overwhelming anxiety, referred to as 'milestone anxiety,' about achieving certain life milestones. According to a survey by Bankrate, fewer than 20% of Americans define being financially successful as being a millionaire.

updates: The article highlights that only affluent Millennials from wealthy families are likely to benefit from the wealth transfer from the Silent Generation and Baby Boomers to Millennials, potentially deepening wealth inequality. It also mentions that affluent young people are less likely to see property or real estate as a way to build wealth in the future. The number of ultra-high-net-worth individuals increased by 4.3% in 2023, with North America experiencing the highest growth. The number of supremely wealthy individuals is expected to increase by 28% over the next five years, with Asia seeing significant growth. The recent Bankrate survey reveals that 38% of Gen Z-ers and millennials believe it was easier for their parents to build wealth than it is for them now. The survey also shows the stark difference in average net worth between baby boomers and millennials. The financial struggles of younger generations can be attributed to factors such as the higher cost of living, rising housing prices, and student debt loans. As baby boomers pass away, millennials and Gen Z-ers are expected to inherit their wealth, potentially closing the financial gap between generations. The article also mentions the income difference between self-employed and employee millennials, with millennial business owners earning less on average than all business owners, but their income has been increasing over time. The slowdown in income growth for Gen X and Millennials is attributed to stagnating work hours and flattening female labor supply around 2000. Millennials and Gen Z'ers express frustration with older generations' lack of understanding about income and wealth in today's world. They mention the impact of student loan debt, the lack of job opportunities, and the challenges of finding affordable housing. Some suggest that taxing billionaires and top-earning companies could help fund programs that are often deemed unaffordable. The new information from the Edward Jones report reveals that only 27% of Americans have discussed their wealth transfer plans with their family, and 35% don't intend to discuss it. 66% of those planning to leave money to heirs intend to leave instructions on those funds, but there's limited communication around what this direction means for the receiver. 57% of respondents believe having a professional around to guide the discussions about wealth and inheritance with family would make planning and reaching a family consensus easier.

updates: Millennials are poised to inherit $90 trillion of assets and become the richest generation in history, but only those from affluent families. The wealth transfer from the Silent Generation and Baby Boomers to Millennials is expected to occur between now and 2044. The shift in wealth is a result of inheritance from prior generations, mainly involving property and other assets. Affluent young people are less likely to see property or real estate as a way to build wealth in the future. The report also reveals that the number of ultra-high-net-worth individuals increased by 4.3% in 2023, with North America experiencing the highest growth. Looking ahead, the number of supremely wealthy individuals is expected to increase by 28% over the next five years, with Asia, including India, China, Malaysia, and Indonesia, seeing significant growth.

updates: The study by Kevin Corinth and Jeff Larrimore reveals the slowdown in income growth for Gen X and Millennials. It also challenges the perception of worsening outcomes for Millennials, highlighting the higher household incomes of Millennials relative to Generation X through their 20s. The rising cost of college offsets only a small portion of the income gains achieved by Millennials, especially when accounting for the growing generosity of financial aid. [e353afac]
