Well, the media seems to portray millennials as broke, unable to pay their student loans, and never able to buy a house.
Millennials are supposedly delaying marriage and all sorts of stuff because they are poor and burdened by debt. I don't think that's the case. With anything financially related, there is never an easy answer. But I think there are just as many millennials crushing it financially. I know first hand that some millennials are already millionaires. And the most recent Federal Reserve data shows older millennial net worth is growing at a massive rate.
Maybe the trouble is how we define millennials? Maybe there's a bigger picture here we need to consider. Maybe we just need to ignore the mainstream media when it comes to wealth. Let's break it down and then look at the average net worth for millennials. See our charts below. Note: I originally wrote this article in , and there was no data available to figure out millennial net worth.
Over the last few years, several surveys have polled millennials, with the most recent one being Deloitte. Millennials are technically anyone born between and always subject to change - with more people calling those born after Xennials.
Basically, these people are roughly 19 to 39 today. That's roughly 81 million Americans. We more fully break down the millennial age range here. What makes them unique as a generation? Well, millennials likely were little kids in a time before computers and cell phones were everywhere. They likely remember getting their first computer and cell phone, and it was a big deal. The likely encountered technology for the first time at school - playing Oregon Trail on a green computer screen.
When it comes to money, millennials do have some of the highest student loan debt rates of any generation in history. Depending on when the millennial graduated college, they could have entered a terrible or awesome job market.
Remember, some millennials graduated from college before the financial crisis of , some during it, and some after it. When you graduated from college played a huge role in your earnings right out of school. Millennials are also all dealing with life events at different times as well - from buying a house to getting married, some did it before the recession and some after. As a result, even some older millennials can still be behind. Plus, older millennials who may have started the recovery just got hit with a pandemic, which has resulted in the largest number of unemployed Americans since the Great Depression.
But one thing's for sure - they're not dumb when it comes to their money. They are combining technology and money like never before mobile banking, financial apps, etc , and they want their money to work for them. However, the traditional banking and finance sector hasn't caught up, and millennials really don't like engaging with traditional brick and mortar finance. As such, there is a divide here. When I think of the main factors that fall into millennial net worth, here's what we need to consider.
First, we need to consider when millennials graduated. If millennials are roughly 19 to 39 today, some haven't even graduated college yet. However, if you're 39 today, you likely graduated from college 18 years ago - or That was before the last financial crisis. Second, we need to look at the average salaries of graduates by year.
NACE has a great survey that they conduct to look at the average salary of college graduates each year. The "Class of" date is the year most of your age group graduated a 4-year college. For example, if you're 35 in , you likely graduated college in , and high school in This could be slightly off depending if you're older or younger for your age, or you graduated high school or college early.
Third, we need to discuss student loans. Student loans are a huge factor in millennial net worth, so we want to consider the average amount of student loan debt millennials had when the graduated data here.
Just look at the chart below - just within the "millennial generation", student loan debt has doubled, on average. For current students, I estimated how much student loan debt they'd have currently - with next years graduates on track to set records again. Finally, we do have to make some assumptions about saving.
Remember, net worth is all about assets minus debt. But income plays a huge role and how much income is saved and how much debt is payed off really makes a difference. For the "average" millennial, I'm going to look at average savings rates for the calculation. For the above average millennial, we're going to factor in IRA and k savings, as well as home equity.
