Millennials are anxious avocado-eaters who'll never own property, while Gen Zers are depressed snowflakes who take liberties at work. So in the spirit of finding some common ground amid all the mud-slinging, BI asked six therapists what their clients from different generations commonly talk about in therapy. Gen Alpha are also forming friendships outside their family and independent of their parents or carers, and that's reflected in what kids worry about. Diana Garcia, a therapist in Florida, works mainly with older Gen Zers between 18 and 26. MillennialsLike Gen Zers, millennials, who are in their late 20s to early 40s, also feel insecure because they compare the "perfect lives" they see on social media with their own, Owen said.

☆ Budgeting apps can do more harm than good, a financial therapist says. There's a smarter way to save money.
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-26 | by ( Julia Pugachevsky | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Some budgeting apps work by auto-transferring money to your savings account. Financial therapist and podcast host Amanda Clayman said these apps make you disengaged from your money. Budgeting apps make it easier for you to transfer money into savings accounts without having to think about it. While some people credit budgeting apps as useful tools, they're far from the best way to save money in the long term, according to Amanda Clayman, a financial therapist and host of the Audible series "Emotional Investment." According to Clayman, apps that automatically move money to your savings account can be great for short-term goals like planning for an upcoming vacation.

"It resonates with both millennials and Gen Zers, which I think indicates that Gen Z is feeling the same 'girl-boss' pressures that millennials famously grew up with," said Casey Lewis, a social media trend forecaster. "I'm a millennial and I grew up like I needed to maximize every minute of the day," Lewis said. And yet, even in cases where women are now breadwinners, the division of labor at home has barely budged, the Pew report found. "But we also live in an environment of layoffs and rising costs, so not being productive isn't really an option," she added. Even though you're not reading the news, you're still seeing how the economy is impacting peers.
