Millennials' financial adulthood shifts to 30s, survey finds

A new survey from Chime reveals that 84% of millennials experienced a significant shift in their financial perspectives during their 30s. This recalibration, which includes redefining success and its benchmarks, is occurring later than in previous generations and is decoupled from traditional milestones like homeownership or starting a family. The study also highlights a divergence within the millennial generation itself, with those born before 1991 being more impacted by the 2008 financial crisis, leading to different financial attitudes and survival instincts compared to younger millennials.

    Older millennials bear the scars of 2008. Younger ones face an equally unforgiving—but differently broken—economy.
