Money is on the mind of many.
Young People Most Concerned About The Economy
A new Gallup poll reveals a sharp generation gap, with young adults far more focused on money matters than older generations.
About one-third of Americans under 35 say economic issues—such as affordability and housing—are the nation’s biggest problem.
That number drops significantly for those over 55, with only 13 percent citing the economy as their top concern.
Instead, older Americans are far more worried about politics and the government, with nearly 40 percent naming them the most pressing issues facing the country.
Gallup researchers note that the United States is unique among wealthy nations, with high anxiety about the stability of its democracy, combined with intense youth economic stress.
