Millennials and Life Milestones

Millennials still feel pressure to live up to their parents’ and grandparents’ norms, even if those expectations really aren’t relevant anymore. They were born into a very different world than the one their parents knew, and navigate it in a very different way:

• They’re getting married on an average of seven years later than their parents.
• the age women first give birth has consistently risen over the past 40 years.
• They are, on average, better educated than previous generations.
• They’re entering the workforce later, so they start saving for homes later
