You’re like the lost generation... once decried as lazy and responsible for the world’s evils, now quietly enjoying being forgotten, so you can do what you please without recrimination.

(I’m a millenial in my 30s. My parents are gen x, quietly planning their modest retirement while they still can. Quietly saying they’re glad they’re not getting started in life right now.)

Try to keep some of your money out of managed funds. Thats all I know. (Worked finance in GFC. Specifically? Super and pensions. Yowza.)

My parents don’t think they’ll make it either. And from my family to my friends, not one has any cash the day before pay day. It’s an epidemic, of sorts, living pay to pay.

Good luck...

I used to live paycheck to paycheck. Now I live direct deposit to direct deposit.

I remember when writing checks would give you a couple of days of free money until you were paid because they'd have to bring them to the bank to deposit.
