39: Millennials on money

What do you think of when you hear the word ‘millennial’? The archetype most prevalent in advertising and popular culture is one of an early-twenties, affluent (but not too affluent), city-dweller.

CJ Fildes and Eliza Grimond join the podcast this week to talk about the latest research on how millennials are engaging with their finances, from real-time spending habit feedback to challenger banks and understanding the need to invest and save for longer.
