YOLO and FOMO: Gen Z’s and Millennials’ Financial Decision-Making
Both “YOLO” (you only live once) and “FOMO” (fear of missing out) mentalities tend to be prevalent among Gen Z and Millennials. These generations came of age during the Internet era, and many find themselves comparing their own blooper reels to others’ highlights.
While YOLO and FOMO could spur you to live life to the fullest, these philosophies don’t always have a good influence on your finances. Prioritizing short-term gratification over long-term stability may leave you playing catch-up with more financially responsible and conservative investing peers. This is, ironically, just what YOLO and FOMO intend to avoid.
Here is an explanation from our financial advisor of how YOLO and FOMO mentalities might influence financial decisions and some tips on managing the potential negative impact of these philosophies while still making the most of every day.
