As a member of Gen Y, I am able to identify some of the problems that my generation is faced with. And let me tell you that we are faced with a number of serious problems.
The financial education for this generation just hasn't been there. And what is even more telling is that poor money management is not a socio-economic problem. Young people with giant incomes are struggling, and people with no income are struggling.
I can no longer standby and watch the carnage. Therefore, I have developed (along with a number of talented people) Green Candy. Green Candy is a web based financial tool for young people. And by young people I mean 18-35. The reality is that it would help anyone that uses it, but we specifically are addressing the younger people who need the most help. Â The website will teach you everything you need to know about: investing, budgeting, debt, risk management, charity, major purchases, and the unique financial issues of Gen Y.
The site will be live at the end of November. An annual membership to Green Candy will be beyond affordable, and will make a great gift for anyone in Gen Y. Check out the site now and then keep checking back until we are live. We will keep you posted
