Millennial Money (Personal Finance)
by Johnson Rhett, Branning Wealth Management
Millennials. Those born between 1981 and 1996; ranging in age from 26-41 years old.

Bring up nostalgia?
Millennials make up the largest generational group in the United States today. This segment of society has changed the world as we know it. Yet, there is one topic essential to living a contented life that most of this demographic was not properly taught growing up – how to view and steward your money, otherwise known as, personal finance.
Financial literacy, as defined by National Financial Educators Council, is “possessing the skills and knowledge on financial matters to confidently take effective action that best fulfills an individual’s personal, family and global community goals”. Financial literacy is extremely important to learn, as money seeps into all areas of our lives. Budgeting, saving, and investing are all issues you will have to address throughout your adult life. How you manage your finances is critical to your well-being!
