• They were more likely than previous generations to feel the lingering effects of the $4.

Nearly half (46%) of millennials said they're still financially recovering from the Great Recession in a $4. The survey polled over 1,000 adults ages 24 and older with at least $10,000 in investable assets.

$4 were more likely to say they're still grappling with the financial fallout of the recession than both Gen X (43%) and boomers (41%). The feeling underscores previous research that has found millennials are worse off than previous generations.

Millennials born in the 1980s are at the greatest risk of becoming a $4, a $4. As of 2016, people born in this decade had wealth levels 34% below where they would most likely have been if the financial crisis hadn't occurred, the report found. They're the slowest cohort to recover from the Great Recession.

These older millennials went through the eye of the Great Recession and its uneven recovery, graduating into a tough job market and wage stagnation. Coupled with $4 and $4, this has made it more difficult for them to save.

"Millennials are less well off than members of earlier generations when they were young, with lower earnings, fewer assets, and less wealth," a 2018 $4 study stated.

$4, a consultant, researcher of millennials, and president of $4, previously $4 that, "Older millennials are often realizing they're going to have to play catch-up with their finances if they want to ever be able to retire."

Now, millennials are facing another financial challenge: the pandemic. It's already $4, and it could put the generation $4.
