3 Tested Strategies for Millennials to Boost Their Financial Well-Being

Many millennials feel that the American Dream is out of reach due to rising student loan debt, rising housing expenses, and waves of layoffs in numerous industries. For some, the idea of retirement is frightening.

“Thirty-eight percent of early millennials born in the 1980s will have inadequate age-70 income, compared with 28 percent of preboomers (born between 1937 and 1945) and 30 percent of late boomers (born between 1955 and 1964),” a 2022 Urban Institute study indicated. The study also stated: “The possibility that Social Security’s long-term financing gap could lead to future benefit cuts further clouds millennials’ retirement outlook.”

Millennials are facing a difficult moment, but there is still time for them to catch up and accumulate money. As a millennial, you may enhance your financial well-being in three ways.

Eliminate Credit Card Debt

One mistake can put you in a difficult financial situation, and because credit card debt has such high interest rates, it can be difficult to pay it off. Transferring credit card debt to a balance transfer card—one with little or no interest—is one strategy for managing debt. There are many other approaches as well. Just be mindful of the transfer costs. Usually, it represents a portion of the sum that you are carrying forward.

Create a Savings Account That Works for You

As always, it’s advisable to have an emergency savings account that can cover three to six months’ worth of living expenses. However, you should also have money set aside for other purchases, such as a car or a down payment on a house. It matters what kind of savings account you have. A high-yield savings account is a viable means of increasing your money because it offers a high yearly percentage payout.

“Right now, with the interest rates that pay in… a high-yield savings account can be a really great, safe opportunity for growing those savings,” Sue Gardiner, certified financial planner and owner of South County Wealth Planning, told CNBC earlier this year.

Put Money Aside for Retirement

Even a small monthly contribution of $100 will help you start saving for retirement even if you are struggling to pay for rent and other necessities. The earlier millennials start saving, the better off they’ll be in the long run, as they still have some time before reaching their golden years.
