Company News
While their millennial peers may have been the first to embrace subscription services and gig economy jobs, zillennials (born between 1991-1999) are redefining ownership altogether. Unlike older generations, the idea of purchasing a car or house is a major challenge, thanks largely to the financial burdens associated with down payments. Zillennials Face Down Payment HurdlesAccording to a recent PYMNTS Intelligence report, “Zillennials’ Transportation Choices May Have Future Down Payments in Mind,” nearly 14% of zillennials identify saving for a down payment as the primary obstacle in buying a car, compared to just 9.5% of millennials. In the housing market, this barrier is more pronounced: 24% of zillennials cite the down payment as their biggest challenge to homeownership. This struggle underscores the rising cost of living, stagnant wages, and higher prices of major purchases. On top of financial hurdles, many zillennials simply don’t view ownership the same way as previous generations
