The Myth of the Broke Millennial w/ Dr. Jean Twenge #1163 (Bestie Ep)

Joel and Matt sit down with Dr. Jean Twenge, a San Diego State psychology professor and author of iGen and Generations. They discuss her research on generational finances, challenging the myth that Millennials are uniquely broke. The conversation covers the 'slow life strategy' that defines Gen Z's delayed adulthood, the influence of rising individualism, and how technology is altering wealth-building. They also contrast financial obstacles today with those faced by previous generations, grounding the discussion in empirical evidence over generational stereotypes.
