Millennials vs. Gen Z: Who's Winning the Savings Game?

The article from Investopedia discusses the savings habits of Millennials and Generation Z, highlighting that despite facing economic challenges like student loan debt, housing costs, and inflation, these generations are still managing to save. A survey by Bank of America found that 66% of Gen Z and 65% of Millennials are saving money, with many focusing on emergency funds, retirement, and other financial goals.

Additionally, there's a noted trend of these generations prioritizing experiences over material possessions, which influences their saving and spending patterns.
