FINANCIAL ADVISOR INSIGHTS: Millennials don't think about retirement like their parents
Here's how to cater to millennials retirement needs (Think Advisor)
Think Advisor spoke to XY Planning Network co-founder Alan Moore about how to cater to millennials' retirement needs.
"It really requires a restructuring of the conversation. It's part cultural, part generational, part their age.

According to Moore, millennials "don't trust the job market like our parents did; they know they're going to get laid off or try [new opportunities]; they saw their parents rely on a dual income and then kind of get screwed [when one spouse lost a job but still had to pay a mortgage]."
