Millennials and Gen Z, shaped by unique economic realities, are authoring a new playbook for wealth building. It's about more than just money; it's about financial autonomy and holistic well-being. THE SHIFT Beyond Traditional Retirement: Financial Wellness First This generation prioritizes flexibility, aligning money with personal values, and leveraging technology not just as a tool, but as a foundational pillar.
