Gen Z fights for financial freedom amid unpredictable economic times
America’s youngest adults, as it turns out, are doing relatively well wading through an endless stream of advice, said Jed Macosko, professor of physics, biophysics, and econophysics at Wake Forest University. “While they certainly face significant challenges–including high housing costs, student debt, and economic uncertainty–their emphasis on saving, avoiding unnecessary debt and taking an active interest in personal finance suggests that, overall, Gen Z is the most financially aware generation in the past half-century,” he said.

AI is extraordinarily good at helping us with the how. But human beings still have to wrestle with the what, the why, and the should.”
