The Millennial and Gen-Z guide to money, with Laura Whateley

With the topic of money becoming increasingly more mainstream, financial journalism has played a key role in opening up the conversation around money, providing engaging and easily consumable content. Through magazines and articles, financial journalism can break down money taboos, amplify different voices, and give consumers a platform to be heard. My guest today is Laura Whateley, an award-winning journalist, and author of The Sunday Times best-selling book, 'Money: a user's guide’. This is the essential guide to financially empower and educate Millennials and Gen-Z on the principles of money management, now with a new chapter added for 2021. In this episode, we take a look at some of the generation-defining money issues Millennials face today (housing crisis, problem debt and saving for the future), the impact social media has on our spending, and what a career in financial journalism has taught Laura about her own personal finances and relationship with money.You can follow and connect with Laura at: Twitter: @LWhateleyInstagram: @laurawhateleyBook: Money: A User’s Guide  Laura shared some great resources in this episode.
