The study found that<br />
<strong>Affluent</strong> <strong>Millennials</strong><br />
have a uniquely progressive<br />
view of future financial<br />
conditions. For example,<br />
<strong>Affluent</strong> <strong>Millennials</strong> are<br />
particularly likely to envision<br />
a cashless, sharing-based<br />
economy in the future<br />
where banks no longer<br />
serve as their primary<br />
financial institutions.<br />
Crisis is Looming<br />
While all groups studied — affluent<br />
as well as general classifications of<br />
<strong>Millennials</strong> and GenXers — share<br />
similar expectations of an impending<br />
financial crisis, <strong>Affluent</strong> <strong>Millennials</strong><br />
are by far the most convinced that<br />
one is on the way.<br />

They aren’t all doom and gloom,<br />
though. <strong>Affluent</strong> <strong>Millennials</strong> have<br />
the highest level of confidence<br />
in the future economic growth<br />
of their country. Also, more than<br />
any other group, they believe<br />
that the American Dream is<br />
definitely possible.<br />
