Young Consumers Are Optimistic About 2023

Despite the rocky economy, more than half of millennials and Gen Zers say they think they’ll have a better financial year than in 2022, making them the most financially optimistic generations. That’s not the only generational difference: Beyond financial optimism, consumers have different preferred payment methods and financial stressors depending on their age.
