Baby boomers were raised by a generation that survived depression and war and as a result were taught the value of a dollar. Today however,  generations 'x and y' that have been raised in an atmosphere of abundance and easy credit. Gen X and Y children have never lived through a recession or credit contraction and are ill equipped to stand on their own two feet as this one hits.  On conclusion of the session there will be an opportunity for you to meet a Financial Planning Association of Australia member and discuss how they may be able to assist you.
