Gen Z is feeling the most financial stress of any generation. There’s a clear connection between rising anxieties about money and a lack of basic financial education, especially 18-28-years-old—over 50% of Gen Z say they entered adulthood without any formal financial education. Factors like stagnant wages, growing student loan debt, and the gender wage gap are creating financial challenges across gens, according to survey data from Credit One Bank. But, 59% of Gen Z—the most out of any gen—report feeling stressed and anxious about their finances, while only 29% of Boomers feel the same. (USA Today)
