Many people assume financial confidence comes with age. In my experience, it's not quite that simple.

New research from Edward Jones and Gallup shows that people across generations share concerns about their financial future. Younger adults are often working to build wealth, while older adults are focused on making their savings last. But both are looking for greater peace of mind about what's ahead.

That's one reason I enjoy helping clients create personalized strategies that align with their goals and priorities, both today and as their needs evolve over time.

Older adults are much more confident than younger adults in managing their current finances. Confidence in managing future finances, however, differs less by age.

I'm encouraged to see that Gen Z is already thinking about building long-term financial security. Yet research shows many young adults still haven't taken the first step by participating in a workplace retirement plan.

As a financial advisor, I know that getting started can often be the hardest part of saving and investing. Having access to the right resources, education and guidance can help individuals build healthy financial habits and greater confidence in their future.

That's why I find it so rewarding to help people make progress toward their goals, so they can feel more confident about their future.

Can a six-figure income still leave you feeling financially lost?

Our research with Gallup — recently featured in Fortune — found that among Americans earning more than $135,000, nearly 70% still struggle to feel financially fulfilled. Even more striking: 1 in 5 high earners report experiencing significant financial stress.

As a financial advisor, this doesn't surprise me. Income alone doesn't create confidence. What can make a difference is having a clear plan, knowing what matters most to you, and feeling genuinely in control of your financial future.
If any of this resonates, I'd love to start a conversation.
