For young people, it’s hard to create a solid financial foundation when they have to become breadwinners right out of college. Then, when they’re ready to raise kids of their own, all their earnings go to their household expenses, rather than for their retirement. In their old age, they become dependent on their kids, and the vicious cycle goes on.
Isn’t it time to do something about it? How do we ensure that we and our future generation will be financially prepared?
