Millennials Are More Optimistic About Their Financial Future
Millennials Are More Optimistic About Their Financial Future Young adults are enthusiastic about their financial prospects for the future, but itâs not exactly clear why. According to to a new Northwestern Mutual study, millennials are exceedingly optimistic they will reach their financial goals, and they are also much more likely than other generations to think the economy will improve. At the same time, however, millennials experience high levels of stress about money right now, and thereâs a widespread belief among young Americans that they wonât be able to depend on Social Security by the time the reach retirement â" if they reach retirement. Even though millennials came of age during the Great Recession â" with many of them scrambling to get jobs and pay off student loans in a punishing economy â" a large number believe a financial crisis will never happen again. While four out of five baby boomers and more than three-quarters of Gen Xers expect that a financial crisis will happen again at some point, just under two-thirds of millennials believe this.

Whatâs more, theyâre pretty confident in their financial skills, with one in five saying that theyâre âhighly disciplinedâ in their financial planning and 86% confident that theyâll reach their financial goals. That long-term optimism is in sharp contrast to their current financial situations, though: More than a third of adults under 35 surveyed by Northwestern Mutual currently worry about money on a daily or even an hourly basis, and close to two-thirds worry about money at least once a week. They probably should be concerned, since four in 10 admit that a lack of planning could leave them with an uncertain financial future. Half of them canât even deal with day-to-day expenses, and 45% blame âunexpected expensesâ for their money worries â" which indicates a lack of planning. Thatâs not a great combination, especially considering that 34% of millennials are pretty sure they wonât have Social Security to rely on the way their parents do.

While about one in five millennials say they have a financial advisor, another 12% donât even know if thereâs anybody managing their money.

Job Seekers Dont Play Trust Fall Game with Your References (I Mean It!) - Work It Daily
Job Seekers Dont Play Trust Fall Game with Your References (I Mean It!) - Work It Daily By J.T. O'Donnell I read this post by a colleague, Heather Huhman, over at her blog today where she had it out with an angry job seeker who thought references don't mean anything. (Ironically, his nasty attitude explains why he most likely hasn't been hired.) AND, earlier in the week, another colleague, Alison Green, wrote about the 4 biggest myths about job references on her blog. Like Heather and Alison, I am regularly asked whether references make a difference. Simple answer: YES! References get checked all the time (read Heather's post to hear a first-hand account of a reference check gone bad). So, if you haven't made 200% sure the references you are listing for potential employers are: A) willing to be a reference. AND, B) going to say good things about you. Then, you are risking losing the job offer. Do you really want to go through the hassle of finding a job (apply, interview, etc.) only to get nixed in the end by a weak reference? Analogy to Drive My Point Home...The Trust Fall Not having good references is like playing that trust fall game where you are blindfolded and expected to tip backwards into a group of people's arms. HOWEVER, imagine you don't how many people are there or if they are even willing to put their hands out. Would you risk it? I doubt it! When it comes down to the final phase of the hiring process, you must make sure your references are strong and in position to react positively when they get the call from a potential employer. Heather even founded a company to help people with their references called, Come Recommended. Here are her two golden rules when it comes to references: Rule #1: Ask your intended references if they would be willing to serve as your references. Rule #2: Ask your intended references what they would say about you if called by a hiring manager. You donât want any surprises! Now is not the time to risk losing out on a great opportunity over something you have control over. I hope this post proves that referencs do matter!
