Career coach Marlo Lyons told Business Insider that mindset is huge when betting on yourself, but it isn't everything. You can't really start an innovative bioengineering company without any background knowledge, and you don't need to go back to school to become an entrepreneur. Break it down week by week —what will you accomplish to hit your goals? I don't know how to do that. You don't know what you don't know along the path of building a business, so get comfortable admitting you don't have all the answers and even more comfortable finding out who to ask.

☆ Young Americans' wealth grew by nearly 50% over the last 4 years—it's not just from buying homes
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-30 | by ( Kamaron Mcnair | In Kamaronmcnair | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

The inflation-adjusted average net worth of households headed by someone age 40 or under was around $174,000 at the end of 2019. That number grew by $85,000 to hit $259,000 by the end of 2023, CAP found. But compared with where it was before the pandemic, young Americans' wealth appears to be on the come up, per CAP's analysis. Struggles to buy homes, pay off student debt and save for retirement have plagued many millennials' and other young adults' financial outlooks since they entered adulthood. But now, as the bulk of the millennial generation enters their mid-30s, they seem to be catching up.

That rate of rapid wealth growth has never happened before in the data series' history, per the analysis, and it comes after wealth growth remained relatively stagnant for young Americans pre-pandemic. This data, as the authors of the CAP analysis note, suggests that wealth gains weren't just reserved for the top-earning millennials since both median and average wealth grew. "This suggests that the strong wealth growth for younger Americans is broad-based and not the result of strong growth of a handful of wealthy younger households," the authors write. As that report notes, financial assets were a major component of younger Americans' wealth growing. "We need to keep this robust labor market going and Congress needs to set its sights on younger Americans' greatest affordability challenge: housing," Duke said.

The recent surge of migrants has put major cities across the U.S. under significant financial pressure. But experts say more federal assistance and funding are necessary to ensure that cities can survive the ongoing crisis. For instance, the $145 million allocated to New York City is less than 10% of what the city spent on migrant services in fiscal 2023, according to the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank. "These are complicated issues to manage, so the city, the state and the federal government, frankly, were not prepared for it." Watch the video above to see just how much financial pressure cities across the U.S. are facing due to the ongoing migrant crisis.

Exxon reported $9.1 billion in profits in the quarter that ended Sept. 30, while Chevron reported $6.5 billion in profits. Exxon has said the proposed deal with Texas-based Pioneer Resources would enhance U.S. energy security and benefit the American economy and consumers.
