In this episode, our hosts chat with expert millennial Glen James, financial advisor and podcast host of “My Millennial Money”. Glen’s business and podcast focuses primarily on millennial financial goals and “sorting your money out”. We get the lowdown from Glen on how millennials are achieving their financial goals, what they are doing to save for their deposit and whose advice should they be listening to; is mum and dad’s financial advice enough?

Here’s what we covered:

• How are millennials currently borrowing?
• Who can you trust to advise you on your money?
• Why advice from previous generations is out-dated.
• What is eating up your savings?
• Why should you ‘lose’ your credit card?
• How has spending, savings and borrowing changed between generations?
• Are subscriptions eating up your cash flow?
• Why you don't need a credit card to build your credit score.
• Are Millennials locked out of the property market?
• How to engage the most appropriate professional advice.
