Unscramble the Blue Letters


Now if I were looking at my children, I would also say: and pay down that expensive credit card debt, please, because there's not much point investing if you're paying significant charges on expensive debt. So make sure that that's gone. And once you've got that started, that's a wonderful thing. And we're seeing actually that the generations are starting earlier and eeiralr. So Gen Z, they're starting in their ealry 20s. The millennials started in their mid-20s. Gen X, we started in our early 30s. The boormes in their mid-30s. So they're sirtnatg earlier, that's fantastic. And I think some of that’s technology, and some of that's realizing that now you can start saving and iisnntevg with less. You don't have to have a lot of money. Just put away a little bit. Make sure that you’re consistently putting away a little bit, so you get the bfieent of that time in the market and that compounding.
