Young generation : Financial independence and the desire to be free

in motivation •  3 years ago 

In a world where technology is continually advancing, Generation Y is notably different in terms of investment than previous generations. Because of its easy access to information, Generation Y has become a strict watcher of global events and financial markets. This syndrome can generate rapid shifts in investment habits and savings tools.

According to research on Generation Y investment habits, the ability to access the banking system with a single click and conduct online transactions with digital banking from anywhere, at any time allows individuals in this generation to diversify their savings and respond quickly to changing trends.

Those born between 1981 and 1996 were among the first to feel the effects of the 2008 global financial crisis. Instead of saving to enhance their own welfare or establish their own business, Y-Generation members spend money to improve their own living standards and attain their life ambitions.

Unlike their parents, the Y-Generation prefers to use the benefits of digitization and globalisation, such as cryptocurrencies and buying a house abroad. Before investing, this generation's top priority is to protect their financial future.

Short-term incentives like self-sufficiency and financial independence are more important to the Y-Generation, which values freedom and independence. Despite their apparent narcissism, Generation Y understands the difference between commitment and addiction, and values closeness and sociability. Another reason why this generation does not value long-term planning is because their parents have saved for their children and already have finances. Their relatives adore them and are always their strongest supporters.

Millennials see financial success as working in any field for a long period, climbing the career ladder in the same position, and retiring from the same place. Those in Generation Y who have an entrepreneurial spirit prefer having an entrepreneurial spirit over making a lot of money. The Y Generation is motivated by the ability to work more rather than the thought of retiring one day.

The ambition for self-sufficiency and entrepreneurship affects Gen Y's financial planning and investing practises. This generation wants to be sure they are investing wisely. Despite having less money, they spend it better than their parents because they monitor financial statistics, global economies, tax policies, and investment opportunities. They also maximise their own and their parents' resources. Generation Y, which believes in their abilities, education, and work ambitions, can make money in any situation.

Generation Y always does research online before making financial decisions, and they base their short- and long-term investments on that information.

For the Y Generation, investing is about supporting their views, personal values, and living standards rather than making a lot of money. For example, whereas an X generation may think buying a property is a good long-term investment, a Y generation thinks the same money should be used to establish a business, grow a firm, and improve living standards.
