Nearly half of U.S. parents are still footing the bill for Gen Z and Millennials—shelling out an average of $1,500 a month. We’ll unpack the latest data, explore why working-age Gen Z is receiving the most support, and ask: How is it impacting parents’ annual spending and financial plans? 

Piggybacking off of supporting your adult children, we’re also diving into the disconnect between record-breaking wealth and the everyday financial stress so many Americans still feel. From booming 401(k)s and soaring home equity to empty checking accounts and rising costs, we’ll explore why the numbers on paper don’t match the mood in the streets.

Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty.
