Every millennial ('81-'96), each year, has to make a tough decision... MY FAVORITE PART MILLENNIAL IN THEIR 30S AND 2026 JUST BEING AN ADULT FOR 10+ YEARS ANNUAL INTERNAL DEBATE IF IT'S TIME TO START HAVING KIDS OR IF WE SHOULD FINALLY JUST TAKE THAT TWO WEEK TRIP TO JAPAN. BECAUSE I KNOW HOW THAT SOUNDS. THAT'S BASICALLY THE FINANCIAL PLANNING CONVERSATION OF OUR ENTIRE GENERATION.
