    In response to modern economic instability, Millennials are sharing critical survival strategies with Gen Z based on their experiences during the 2008 financial crisis. These seasoned mentors emphasize prioritizing financial stability by building emergency funds, avoiding high-interest debt, and securing any available employment rather than waiting for a perfect career. The episode highlights a shift toward practical frugality, suggesting that younger workers minimize educational costs through community colleges and adopt lifestyle changes like bulk buying and communal living. By advocating for adaptability and mental resilience, the sources aim to help the newest generation navigate potential recessions without the same hardships their predecessors faced.

  • The Top 10 U.S. Cities for Gen Z Workers, According to New Report

    The Top 10 U.S. Cities for Gen Z Workers, According to New Report
    Dec 14 2025
    The episode offers an overview of a 2025 report by the HR technology company Checkr, which identifies the best U.S. cities for Generation Z workers. The study analyzed over 100 cities based on metrics grouped into three weighted categories: employment, affordability, and social life. The key finding is that many Midwest cities, such as Madison, Wisconsin, and Minneapolis, Minnesota, dominate the top rankings, challenging the traditional appeal of expensive coastal hubs. This shift is attributed to Gen Z’s preference for financial stability and work-life balance afforded by the Midwest’s lower cost of living and strong, stable job markets. Six of the top 10 cities are in the Midwest, demonstrating that young workers are prioritizing sustainable financial futures over high-prestige, high-cost locations. The report suggests that both Gen Z and employers should focus on these emerging, affordable urban centers.
