Show notes

In this episode, we're talking Millennials and Gen Z versus Gen X and Baby Boomers. The financial priorities of each generation are WILDLY different! We discuss why younger generations desire experiences, from international trips to concerts, and how social media fuels these desires. Plus, get ready for some real talk as we share personal stories from raising our own almost Millennial and Gen Z daughters, tackling the struggle of living in the now while still planning for tomorrow. This episode is your guide to bridging the generational gap, whether you're a parent, a young adult, or just curious about how to enjoy life today AND build a solid future. As our podcast title states, we believe people can have more than one thing at a time. Tune in to hear our take on the changing spending climate.
