Put time on your side. Start saving early and save regularly. Live modestly and don't touch the money that's been set aside.

Millennials are voicing out

In hisory’s context, yes there are people who already fought for their rights but the problem is still evident today. There are constant war between gender, religion and skin colors. Stereotyping, misogyny, unequal treatment, racism are only of the few issues that we are now trying to resolve.

The millennials of today are politically and socially aware, they know what to fight for. Just like what Dr. Jose Rizal  said “ang kabtaan ang pag-asa ng bayan”, the millennials are already doing their very best to eliminate the unequal treatment between different categories. They fight in different and unique ways. Unlike before most teenagers are only being focused on education and taught to follow by the rules and mostly judgeful but the millennials today are whole heartedly accepting and understanding different genders, colors and religion.

We are always taught that there are walls separating us but in this era we are determined to break down the walls and see everyone as equal to us.There are not dominant nor submissive. The most social change that is seen today is that empowerment in different categories are evident.

"I think a big part of being in your 20s is realizing that your parents are people, and that they’re not just in the world to serve you. Realizing that your parents have their own issues and their own anxieties, it can be traumatic, because you still feel like a child. You don’t feel ready for it."

Our Future Leaders - What They're Really Like

Guest BLog - CNBC

By: Christopher Adkins, Dir., Undergraduate Business Program, College of William & Mary

If you’ve been thinking that “millennials” are the “me generation,” think again.

An IBM study shows that far from being self-centered, today’s college students see the fault lines in our shared planet as their generation’s call to action.

Is the millennial generation, a “me generation” or a “we generation?”

Reviews are mixed, but as we prepare for the future it’s important to sort out where this generation is heading. Sheer numbers will make them a potent force — within the next few years they will hold roughly half of jobs in the world. I find good reason to believe that millennials will marshal their raw demographic power in pursuit of positive change.

Teaching college students for the last decade, I’ve often thought of them as the “screen generation”. They’ve grown up surrounded by TVs, laptops, cell phones and iPods. Vivid, exciting and constantly changing, images from these screens are hard to ignore. What’s more, they bring viewers close to events they would otherwise never see — war and famine, tsunamis and earthquakes, social and environmental disasters.
