Millennial: Can Job-Hopping Help Retirement Savings?

Millennials have been coined the “job-hopping generation,” and I’ve contributed to that stereotype. I started my career at 22 and have job-hopped almost every year since. For many of those years, I was young and restless, and there was another part of me looking for more fulfilling work and pay that reflected what I was…


Millennials Set to Overtake Baby Boomers in Australia

Australia’s population is going through a generational shift, with the baby boomers no longer being the largest demographic in Australia as the cohort continues to shrink while the millennials expand through migration.

You don’t even have to suggest there was any outright fraud, or…


I Refuse to Work: China’s ‘Lying Flat’ Culture Comes to America
