Today's young adults are rising in the ranks at work, getting married and having kids. They play a significant role in shaping our nation's economic landscape. That's why we've taken a pulse on millennials' (ages 23-37) money mindset for each of the last four years. Here's the latest from the report:

Our Winter 2018 report found:

  • One in four millennials worry often about their finances, citing not having enough money saved as the top stressor.
  • 73% of millennials say their generation overspends, and 64% believe that their generation is bad at managing money.
  • But in reality, millennials are saving (63 percent); the majority of millennials who have a savings goal meet it (67 percent).
