Parents play a huge role in helping Gen Z understand how better to shape their financial future. Talk with your kids about money\u2014even if your parents did not talk with you about money when you were a kid.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"\/gen-z-2017\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">53% of Gen Z discussed earning money<\/a><\/span>\u00a0with their parents in the last 6 months. Gen Z doesn\u2019t shy away from speaking to their parents about earning money, making them more financially aware and positioning them to be more self-reliant in the future. Celebrate this type of conversation. Talking about earning money is always better than talking about just receiving money.<\/p>\n<p>48% of Gen Z say they will often or always get input from friends and family before making a purchase. Parents are still the top influence when it comes to Gen Z\u2019s buying power. It\u2019s important to help Gen Z understand the difference between a need and a want as well as saving money instead of spending it all.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"\/gen-z-2017\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">48% of Gen Z have\u00a0a money or payment app on their phone right now.<\/a><\/span>\u00a0They embrace technology as digital natives and think money is not necessarily cash, check, or even a credit card. For parents of Gen Z, realizing that money physically looks differently than traditional $20 bills is important. It\u2019s much easier to send money via Venmo than trying to find an ATM!<\/p>\n<p>85% of Gen Z watched at least one online video in the past week to learn a new skill! This generation is unafraid to try new things and willing to \u2018DIY\u2019 just about anything\u2014as long as they can find a how-to video online. Encourage this DIY learning to drive DIY behaviors so Gen Z solves their own challenges and gets good at problem-solving. Then they can get good at solving a key generational challenge: wowing their mom on Mother\u2019s Day!<\/p>\n<p>As any mom can see, Gen Z is going to be quite different from previous generations. But one thing is for sure: we hope this new generation takes the time to thank their mom in style and with sincerity on Mother\u2019s Day\u2014whether that\u2019s by HouseParty, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, or a good old fashion hug.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Are you a #GenZ celebrating a #millennial or #GenX mom in your life?
