## Resource

Gen Z is ditching retirement for vacations — and it’s not just them. A new JPMorgan study reveals nearly half of 18-29-year-olds prioritize travel savings over retirement, while most workers across all ages prefer emergency funds or debt payoff over long-term planning. Rising costs and urgent bills are forcing tough choices, with 25% already tapping retirement accounts — often for emergencies, homes, or family. Uncertainty about how much to save and a desire for professional help are slowing progress, exposing a deep gap between financial knowledge and real-world budgeting.
