The Dilemma
Navigating the complexities of adult life can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to finances. From student loans and credit card debt to soaring housing costs and stagnant wages, young adults today face a perfect storm of financial challenges. These obstacles can feel insurmountable, making it difficult to build a solid financial foundation. Actionable financial skills are rarely taught at a young age and financial/wealth management services are rarely accessible to low and moderate income adults.
A lack of financial literacy further exacerbates these challenges. With limited guidance and support, many young people find themselves ill-equipped to navigate the complexities of modern finance, from budgeting and saving to investing and planning for the future.
The financial world is rigged against young adults. 3rd Decade is changing that through free, accessible, and actionable financial education and guidance to empower the next generation.
