Long-term Goal: Financial Freedom

In 2022, a whopping 43% of retail accounts were opened by investors aged 18-35, reshaping the financial landscape. This surge in interest led to a rise in High-Yield Savings Accounts (HYSA) and Money Markets, which thrive in high-interest environments.

The growing trend of financial literacy among Gen Z, has paved the way for better expense management and savings practices. The outcome? A resilient consumer base and a new market dynamic that's puzzling Wall Street.

Our special guest for this episode is Gen Z investor Mary Esposito, also known as @moneywithmary on TikTok and @moneywithmary1 on Instagram. She's not only a financial literacy whiz but also an artisanal creator of adorable knitted plushies available at shoppurplepear.com 💜.

In this episode, we explore how Gen Z approaches investing, discussing their tools, resources, and even a quick stock market update discussing inflationary concerns. Mary shares remarkable insights into Gen Z's investment strategies, the influence of social media in financial education, and how this generation's financial approach is reshaping the world of finance and investing.
