So in talking to a number of people, they had different strategies where they tried to combat this disconnect that they felt.
And there are a number of apps that are available and give you better insight on your money than you may have ever had before, but you really have to opt into them.
And I think that that's where the disconnect is.
Whereas before, you had this baseline of knowledge that was built into the system of paying, you don't have that anymore.
And you have to actually want
to understand it.
And if you don't, then you could be at risk of all those things that I was talking about before, about not spending, not saving, or not really utilizing your money in the best way possible.

And then even moving into investing, Finimize is a site that I think is one that's millennial-focused.
The goal isn't to just give advice, but to let people learn on their own.

The idea was that the advice that is oftentimes portrayed in the journal and other publications is really helpful for people who are looking in their 30s and their 40s on how to manage their money.
But for someone in his 20s like me, there wasn't a lot of bridging between the gap of you're just starting out and you're saving for your kid's college fund.
And trying to bridge that gap is really what I was aiming to do.
No, absolutely not.
