Millennials on average are fairly
evenly split in satisfaction with
their own financial situation,
however there is a significant
difference when we look at
satisfaction by demographic
groups. As may be expected,
those who are college graduates,
married, male or whose
household income is over
$50,000 are most satisfied.

Data for this infographic were generated by an Ipsos eNation online omnibus survey of 630 American millennials,
18-32 years old, conducted September 25-29, 2014.
Unsurprisingly, of the top three concerns, two are life stage related - new graduates often have loans and salaries are based on experience.
However, the most mentioned concern (money doesn’t go far enough), might be related to millennials conflicting priorities of travel, saving
for retirement and technology.
