Addressing the Financial Headwinds Faced by Gen Z and Millennials

Wednesday, May 7, 2025
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Beverly Hilton - Wilshire Ballroom

Young American adults face financial challenges unlike those of their predecessors. Many Gen Z and Millennials feel that they cannot buy—or even rent—a home; some are sharing their parents’ homes well past the usual age. Student loan debt can be crushing as college costs have massively outpaced inflation over the last decade. By some accounts, more than 50 percent are relying on parents for financial help years after graduation. For many, top concerns are a competitive job market and inflation. Attitudes vary about the financial future, but most fear that social programs like Social Security will not be available. Some are anxious, others more positive. Some turn to offbeat sources of financial information, others profit from tech expertise to generate additional income or run side businesses. Hear from experts who are providing content, advising, and observing new generations, and considering ways to enhance the financial security of younger generations as they work toward the goal of a financially secure life.
