Half of teens (50%) expressed an interest in learning more about managing money, and 76% say they want to learn about the basics of finance to help them make better financial decisions down the road.
- Family or housework?: Men and women both have the same two main focuses in retirement: “taking care of things around the house and yard’ and “spending time with grandkids or other family members,” according to a survey of retirees by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. For men, the house and yard (28%) slightly beat spending time with family (26%). Women were the opposite, placing more importance on spending time with family (36%) over housework (25%).
