Financial Planning For Millennials
Members of the Millennial Generation were born between 1980 and 2000, the children of baby boomers, and sometimes also referred to as Gen Y.

What Boomers, Millennials, Elderly All Have in Common: Money Fears - DailyFinance
By Bruce Watson:
While the general erosion in economic confidence is disturbing, an even more insidious development may be the way in which respondents have reshaped their goals. In 2007, a large number of respondents were dedicated to what could be described as selfless goals, like taking care of one's parents or paying for a child's education. Between 2007 and 2011, however, the number of millennials who prioritized helping their children to pay for their educations fell by 17% and the number who prioritized preserving wealth to leave to their children dropped by 41%. In fact, the only millennial priority that had significant growth was "assuring a financially secure life for yourself/your family." The number of millennials who put it at the top of their list increased by 25%.

Millennials struggle with financial literacy
By Hadley Malcolm:
This USAToday story suggests that Millennials are largely uneducated about how to go about managing their finances and financial future.

The Millennial Perspective
By David Bass:
With an estimated 10,000 new baby boomers qualifying for Social Security each day, the milk will soon run out. In the coming years, my generation, the Millennials (born from the 1980s through the mid-1990s), will bankroll a retirement scheme for our elders that we ourselves will never participate in, at least not in the same way. A steadily declining birthrate fed by abortion on demand, a swiftly graying population, an extended average life span, and unsustainable national spending have created a perfect storm for Social Security and set the stage for a titanic generational war.
