With their eyes set on the future, they know that making smart choices can make their hard-earned money work for them. By harnessing the power of a tax-efficient investment system, this young and savvy generation can pave the way toward a future with financial security, opportunity, and the freedom to live life on their own terms.

Recognizing that money stuff can feel hard for most young investors, David talks about why Playbook chose to serve higher-earning millennials and Gen Z, the discoveries David made while building the app, and what Playbook solutions look like.
