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 💜.
