Gen-Z’s Capitalist Whisperer

Kyla Scanlon knows it’s easier for most people to talk about their bowel movements than to talk about money. Unlike bathroom habits, which don’t necessarily reflect one’s success or failure in life, money is personal. Money is intimately tied to our sense of self-worth; the ups and downs in our bank account often reflect our most important life choices, and expose our bad habits and vulnerabilities. Taking a hard look at your finances is often easy to avoid when there is so much information online, and so little guidance about how to do with all of that advice. Even for someone who is deeply committed to improving their personal finances, “the opportunity cost is high” when considering new information, Scanlon says.
