Mobile apps are replacing piggy banks for kids who have extra pocket change. In a move to teach young people about financial management early on in life, Europe-based budgeting apps like GoHenry, Osper, Gimi, and Revolut Youth offer money management services for kids 7-to-18-years-old. For a monthly subscription fee, parents can add money to their kids’ accounts, set limits, or monitor payments. Over half of Gen Z and Millennials tell YPulse they wish their parents taught them more about managing finances, so starting to learn digital spending skills at a young age could be a positive. (CNN)

For Millennials, home buying is “just beginning.”
For Millennials, home buying is “just beginning.” Buying a home may be a top financial worry by young consumers, but in 2018 Millennials were the largest group of home buyers at 37%, according to the National Association of Realtors’ 2019 Home Buyers and Sellers. Some are saying this indicates the generation’s “delay in … homebuying is over.” The Toll Brothers’ earnings report shows that 2019 was the year more young buyers invested in a house, and 20% of closings had one buyer under 35-years-old. Millennial home buyers are looking for good neighborhoods, reasonable commutes, and overall “instant HGTV-approved living.” (CNBC, The Washington Post)
