While some argue that my generation is blossoming later than our predecessors, optimists such as myself believe that with our rebounding economy will help Millennials finally arrive in the economic arena that allows them the growth potential generations before us were afforded.\r\n\r\nWhile I truly believe Millennials are positioned to become an important force in the new economy, the widening economic policy that minimizes retirement accounts and creates underemployment of Millennials threatens what is now America’s largest demographic.\r\n\r\n\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.msnbc.com\u002Fmsnbc\u002Fyouth-must-fight-income-inequality\">In his post for MSN\u003C\u002Fa>, Austin Thompson points out that Millennials are now in peak childbearing age, and from a Real Estate, as well as a parental Standpoint, what goes hand in hand with raising a family is the desire to own a home.\r\n\r\nFamilies want to put down roots. They want to know they have a certain level of security if possible, while growing some form of equity for retirement.\r\n\r\nWhile slashing pensions and lower wages certainly puts a strain on Millennial workers, the ability to purchase Real Estate can still be a saving grace in the Millennial financial planning process.\r\n\r\nAs agents and brokers, we are meant to advise our clients. We can’t change the fact that outside economic factors can have a negative impact on the lives of our clients. What we can do is try and help Millennials understand that they can take their future, and subsequently their retirement, into their own hands.\r\n\r\nChances are, your average Millennial client, like their parents, will not be starting out with a beach front multi-million dollar estate. Our job, is to help explain the path that starting in smaller affordable homes now will have down the road, how it will help them grow, and how it will help them take control of their livelihood.\r\n\r\n\u003Cstrong>Do more than sell my generation a house…help them build a future.\u003C\u002Fstrong>","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.keepingcurrentmatters.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2014\u002F03\u002FPiggy-Bank-w-Blonde.jpg",false,[],"2014-04-03T10:00:19Z","2014-07-21T18:13:10Z",{"id":19,"slug":20,"title":21,"featuredImage":11,"publishedAt":22,"contentType":10,"isVideo":14},11,"hispanic-millennials-housing","Hispanic Millennials & Housing","2014-04-02T10:00:41Z",{"id":24,"slug":25,"title":26,"featuredImage":11,"publishedAt":27,"contentType":10,"isVideo":14},13,"millennials-texting-about-buying-a-home-infographic-2","Millennials: Texting About Buying A Home [INFOGRAPHIC]","2014-04-04T07:00:14Z",[29,33,37,41,45,49,53,56,60,64,68,72,76,80,84,88,92,96,100,104,108,112,116,120,124,128,132,136,140,144],{"id":30,"name":31,"slug":32},1,"Uncategorized","uncategorized",{"id":34,"name":35,"slug":36},5,"For Buyers","buyers",{"id":38,"name":39,"slug":40},6,"For Sellers","sellers",{"id":42,"name":43,"slug":44},7,"Foreclosures","foreclosures",{"id":46,"name":47,"slug":48},8,"Infographics","infographics",{"id":50,"name":51,"slug":52},9,"Home Prices","home-prices",{"id":19,"name":54,"slug":55},"First-Time Buyers","first-time-buyers",{"id":57,"name":58,"slug":59},34,"Senior Market","senior-market",{"id":61,"name":62,"slug":63},35,"Mortgage Rates","mortgage-rates",{"id":65,"name":66,"slug":67},38,"Move-Up","move-up",{"id":69,"name":70,"slug":71},41,"For Sale by Owner","for-sale-by-owner",{"id":73,"name":74,"slug":75},42,"Featured","featured",{"id":77,"name":78,"slug":79},45,"New Construction","new-construction",{"id":81,"name":82,"slug":83},52,"Luxury \u002F Vacation","luxury--vacation",{"id":85,"name":86,"slug":87},53,"Rent vs. Buy","rent-vs-buy",{"id":89,"name":90,"slug":91},80,"Time-sensitive","time-sensitive",{"id":93,"name":94,"slug":95},81,"Outdated","outdated",{"id":97,"name":98,"slug":99},147,"Internal","internal",{"id":101,"name":102,"slug":103},148,"Do Not Autopost","do-not-autopost",{"id":105,"name":106,"slug":107},320,"Inventory","inventory",{"id":109,"name":110,"slug":111},321,"Agent Value","agent-value",{"id":113,"name":114,"slug":115},322,"Affordability","affordability",{"id":117,"name":118,"slug":119},323,"Buying Tips","buying-tips",{"id":121,"name":122,"slug":123},324,"Downsize","downsize",{"id":125,"name":126,"slug":127},325,"Economy","economy",{"id":129,"name":130,"slug":131},326,"Equity","equity",{"id":133,"name":134,"slug":135},327,"Forecasts","forecasts",{"id":137,"name":138,"slug":139},328,"Selling Tips","selling-tips",{"id":141,"name":142,"slug":143},339,"Expired\u002FWithdrawn\u002FCanceled","expiredwithdrawncanceled",{"id":145,"name":146,"slug":147},340,"Price It Right\u002FOverpricing","price-it-rightoverpricing"]
