In a recent study, financial intelligence company Comet surveyed more than 1,000 people to uncover the top financial concerns of various age groups, as well as the financial advice millennials and gen Zers want to know and what they hear instead.

Perhaps that's because they didn't hear the right advice growing up. At least that might be the case for gen Zers and millennials.
