Why Milllennials Are So Bad With Money... #Best Education Page #Online Earning

Why Milllennials Are So Bad With Money...





why are Millennials so bad with money
that is what we are going to be talking
about in this video today so recently
money under 30 conducted a survey to
test the financial health of Millennials
what they did was they surveyed 612
American Millennials to try to
understand what it is that is going on
with this generation that is causing us
to be so poor off financially now the
first thing I want t
o say is that this
is not necessarily all Millennials
because I have a lot of young people who
watch my channel or here on the channel
we talk about personal finance the stock
market financial education and so there
are a vast amount of Millennials out
there that are killing it financially
but the majority of people based on this
survey suck financially and we are going
to talk about the main findings of this
survey and why this might be the case if
you guys want to read the survey it's
going to be the top link in the
description below money under 30 is a
great finance blog if you guys are
looking to learn more about personal
finance investing anything of that
nature that's gonna be down in the
description below as well
but I found these results to be
absolutely shocking and there were a
couple of them that I wanted to share
with you so the first reason why
Millennials are so bad with money really
is not our fault and that is the fact
that college tuition has skyrocketed
there's a number of different statistics
out there that are sharing data on this
about how much college tuition costs at
this point in time but what money under
30 found in this survey is that 16
percent of a Millennials surveyed listed
their primary financial goal is to pay
off student loans that is kind of a sad
financial goal of your biggest goal out
there is not to own a house it's not to
retire it's just to get out of debt
there are a lot of different reasons why
people are struggling to get out from
under their student loans but one of the
main reasons is the fact that like we
said tuition in this country is
skyrocketing but there's also this idea
that everybody needs to go to college
and there are a lot of good jobs out
there you can get that do not require a
college education and so I think this
idea that college is essentially a
prerequisite to life is a very old idea
that a lot of people need to get out of
their head college is the good choice
and the right choice for some people
but it is definitely not the right
choice for everyone out there the second
reason why millenials are so bad with
money is because they can't find jobs in
their field and so what they're finding
is that after you get educated after you
get your college degree you come out and
you're in a massive amount of debt but
you can't find a job in your field this
is another common problem among
Millennials and this survey found that
13 percent of Millennials listed their
primary financial goal is to get a job
in their field again these are pretty
sad numbers here 16% say they just want
to get out from under their student
loans 13% just want to find a job in
their field and in my opinion the
primary reason for this is that people
are not thinking about what they're
gonna do when they get out of college
there are some degrees that are more
marketable than others and so if you
have a degree in glassblowing or basket
weaving it's going to be hard to
actually get a job unless compared to
somebody who may have a degree in stem
or something medical related so what I
believe this comes down to is a lack of
research or a lack of a plan as far as
what you're going to do after college
and how you're actually going to utilize
that degree so that I do have to blame
on the Millennials going to college and
seeking a college education in a non
marketable or a non valuable skill the
third reasons why a lot of Millennials
are broke or so bad with money is that
number one and number two are preventing
them from purchasing homes and so as a
result they tend to rent for all of
their authorities or they're in their
30s and they're still renting because
they cannot get out from under their
student loan debt they are underemployed
or they're not making enough money based
on their education level and as a result
they can't afford to buy a home so
they're just burning money burning
through cash left and right by renting
and it's extremely hard for Millennials
to buy homes if they're stuck in this
trap because their student loan payment
is basically their mortgage I mean I
have friends I've talked to in their
student loan payments or five six seven
hundred dollars per month that is
astronomical that is almost what you
would pay for a mortgage of maybe half a
mortgage and so because of the fact that
they are burdened so heavily by student
loans and they are potentially not
making the right amount of money based
on their skill
or they have a non marketable skill they
are unable to save up money to pay for a
house and they are renting and
oftentimes what you're paying in rent is
going to be higher than what you would
pay if you actually own that property so
that is another reason why Millennials
are so bad with money is they are not
able to buy homes because of their past
choices here with education number four
the fourth thing that this survey found
here is that Millennials are a little
bit too optimistic about their future
financially and so money under 30 found
that 78% of the millennial surveys to
fuel that their financial situation will
improve compared to forty five point
five percent of Americans now there's a
very clear reason for this in my opinion
and that is the fact that Millennials
have only ever been adults in a healthy
and prosperous economy and during the
2008 crash the market crash when
unemployment was through the roof most
Millennials were not of the adult age
and so they've only ever been adults
during a prosperous and healthy economy
and so I believe that a lot of
Millennials are a little bit too
optimistic about their situation
improving now I don't think their
situation can't improve but they're
actually gonna have to take some steps
and take some action to improve it it's
not just gonna magically get better and
so I feel there is an overall sense of
optimism that might be a little bit
overdone here dears based on the fact
that they've only ever seen a prosperous
economy the fifth thing that this survey
found that was absolutely shocking to me
is that nineteen point five percent of
Millennials would borrow from friends
and family if they had an unexpected
$500 expense this is just so
mind-blowing to me that $500 a 500
dollar expense a fender bender or some
kind of dental surgery costing you 500
bucks
you're gonna call up your friends you're
gonna call up your family members for a
bailout this is just such a poor
decision to be making in my opinion to
have to rely on friends and family for a
$500 expense and I think this is again
another reason why Millennials are bad
with money is they are not too proud to
ask for that I know personally I would
never ask my friends or family for money
I would figure it out I would do
whatever I had to before I crawl to my
friends and family and said hey can I
get
hundred bucks I'm in a pinch but I think
a lot of people a lot of Millennials
would be totally willing to do that and
that is more or less a mindset problem
in my opinion of having that willingness
to go out there and you know ask your
friends and family for money in a pinch
number six the sixth thing found here
which is why Millennials are going to be
so bad with money going forward is the
fact that 51 point six percent of
Millennials are not contributing to
retirement accounts and ten percent
don't even know if they even have one
that means that sixty one point six
percent if you lump this together they
either are not contributing or they have
no idea if they have one and this is why
they're gonna struggle so much
financially going forward is that most
Millennials of these Millennials
surveyed here are not contributing
towards retirement and it just shows you
how bad this financial landscape is here
because anybody who understands compound
interest knows that it's the time value
of money and if most Millennials are not
contributing towards retirement accounts
they're not going to have enough time or
as much time for compounding to take
place and for them to earn money from
their existing amount of money so that
in and of itself is going to be a huge
financial problem for Millennials and
then number seven the seventh thing
found by this survey here is that 36
percent of Millennials don't know their
credit score and if that's not bad
enough 35 percent have zero credit cards
this just comes down to in my opinion a
lack of education whether it be from
schooling whether it be from parents
friends whatever it is there is a lot of
bad stigma out there surrounding credit
cards and credit cards are not the root
of all evil as they're made out to be
and it's very important to have good
credit as a young person if you're going
to be buying a car if you're going to be
buying a home a lot of places if you're
looking to rent from that place they're
going to run your credit and so if you
don't have a well established credit
you're going to be paying higher
interest rates on credit card payments
higher interest rates on auto loans if
you ever want to buy a house you're
gonna have to get somebody to be a co
borrower with you it's going to be a
massive headache and so again this right
here is another reason why Millennials
suck financially they don't know their
at score and a lot of them one third of
them have zero credit cards meaning they
have no established lines of credit
building their credit score and so
anyways guys this is what this survey
here money under-30 found to be a lot of
the reasons why Millennials are
struggling financially and I would love
to hear what you guys think about this
do you fall under these statistics here
or are you among the people that are
doing well financially as a millennial
