In today’s episode, Keeping Up with Gen Y talks to J.D. Lewis, a financial representative with Aycock Financial Group in Austin, Texas, who provides individuals and businesses with assistance in identifying their financial goals.
Young people are well known for “living in the moment,” putting off decisions about how best to secure their financial futures until they’ve reached important life milestones. But in these uncertain economic times, it’s crucial that Gen Y start planning, saving, and controlling debt while in their 20s.
Lewis talks about ways Generation Y can assess their financial health. With an eye to the future, he lays out steps for how young people can create and stick to budgets while beginning to build investment portfolios even during these turbulent financial times.
